Solution

The question seems to be a bit jumbled, but I'll try to interpret it as best as I can.

You're asked to find the quotient of two rational expressions. The first expression is (x+2)/(x+7) and the second expression is (x-2)/(x+4).

When you divide two fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

So, the division problem (x+2)/(x+7) รท (x-2)/(x+4) becomes (x+2)/(x+7) * (x+4)/(x-2).

Now, you just multiply across.

The numerator becomes (x+2)(x+4) and the denominator becomes (x+7)(x-2).

So, the quotient of the rational expressions is ((x+2)(x+4))/((x+7)(x-2)).

This doesn't seem to match any of the answer choices you provided, so there might have been a mistake in the question or the answer choices.
