Sample: the first question, solved

Cancel the common factor in (x²−9)/(x−3) and state the resulting expression, including the restriction.

📘 Worked solution
Factor the numerator as (x−3)(x+3); the (x−3) factor cancels with the denominator, leaving x+3, with restriction x≠3.

And one from the hard end

"Simplify f(x)=(x³−8)/(x²−4), stating restrictions, and identify any holes."
