Factor and simplify $\frac{\sin^2x-9}{\sin x-3}$ .

$\sin x+3$

$\cos^2 x+3$

$\sin x \cos x$

$\csc x$

This is already it's most reduced form.

To reduce $\frac{\sin^2x-9}{\sin x-3}$ , factor the numerator: $\frac{(\sin x-3)(\sin x+3)}{\sin x-3}$

Notice that we can cancel out a $\sin x -3$ .

This leaves us with $\sin x +3$ .
