① | Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{x^2-4x}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{x^3+4x^2-32x}{32x-8x^2} & =\frac{ \left( x+8 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( x^2-4x \right) }}{ \left( -8 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( x^2-4x \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{x+8}{-8} \end{aligned} $$ |
