Cancelation between a numerator and denominator can only occur when both terms are multiplied as a whole, not simply added.

In this case, the polynomial at the top needs to be converted to the root multiplication that lead to it: (x+1)^2, and the denominator needs to complete the square: (x-1)(x+1)+4, which would still be unable to have terms canceled (as there is still addition in the denominator that cannot be removed), so the original form is the valid answer.

It’s a common thing drilled into students during these courses that you cannot simply cancel out terms at will - you have to modify polynomials first.

Honestly, I’m in a similar boat - people’s emotional support deities shouldn’t be any basis to regulate society - but we can’t ban them all together or you get theocratic separatists forming.

Religion and the state should be throughly separated, on all fronts. I doubt that will happen in our foreseeable future, unfortunately.

Cheers Gary, it’s been a long week.

That’s true - you’re probably stuck between a rock and a hard place then. Meta is basically the only manufacturer running in the non-used budget category, and all of their competitors are not standalone headsets (or really budget unless you count old used stock), and your PC may not have high enough specs to drive one.

Hopefully once you’ve got money to spare, you can get a PC-centric headset at some point.

Ah, so you’re probably VRAM bottlenecked. You’d probably be best off getting a Quest 2 refurbished, since it has both standalone and PC connectivity.

You got this champ, here’s some tips:

Step 1: Be nice to those you play games with or chat to in a discord server

Step 2: Ask if they’d like to play together or add you as friend to hang out in the future

Step 3: Hang out with new friends and enjoy having company while you’re online

You can do it!

I’m not sure what your budget precisely would be, but there’s plenty of both refurbished and budget headsets available that you can connect to your desktop, if you already have a gaming PC.

Luckily, that’s what the internet is good for in that situation. So many amazing VR and gaming/VC celebrations with my friends.
