In this fraction, there is the possibility that the numerator and denominator contain common factors which can be eliminated and we therefore try to factorize all expressions to simplest possible form.

The factor y2+4y+4 can be rewritten as y2+22y+22, which opens the way for using the squaring rule


y2+4y+4=y2+22y+22=y+22 


The factor 2y4 is already a first-order expression and can therefore not be divided up any further, other than by taking out a factor 2 i.e. 2y4=2y2  .


y2+4 y2-4 can be factorized using the conjugate rule to give


y24=y+2y2 


On the other hand, y2+4 cannot be written as a product of first-order factors. If it were possible to write y2+4=yayb , where a and b are some numbers, then y=a and y=b would be zeros of y2+4, but because y2+4 is the sum of a square, y2, which cannot have a negative value and the number 4, y2+4 is always greater than or equal 4 regardless of how y is chosen. Hence, y2+4 cannot be divided up into first-order factors.

Thus,


y2+4y24y2+4y+42y4=y+222y2y2+4y+2y2=y2+42y+2
