ANSWER

B. 1/4+x ; where x ≠ -4,0

EXPLANATION

The given expression is:

[tex] \frac{x}{4x + {x}^{2} } [/tex]

This expression is defined if and only if,

[tex](4x + {x}^{2} ) \ne 0[/tex]

[tex]x(4 + x) \ne0[/tex]

[tex]x\ne0 \: or \: x\ne - 4[/tex]

The greatest common factor in the denominator is x.

We factor the greatest common factor is

[tex]\frac{x}{x(4 + x)} [/tex]

Cancel the common factors to ontain;

[tex]\frac{1}{4+ x } [/tex]
