Simplify
Solution:
Consider the give equation above
After the inspection of the terms, the numerator can be factored by the difference of two cubes and the denominator can be factored by the difference of two squares as follows
Change the sign of the term at the denominator which is (2 - y) into - (y - 2) as follows
The
greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator is (y - 2). Cross out their GCF and simplify into lowest term. Therefore, the
final answer is
