To reduce this equation to lowest terms, we must first determine the factors of both the numerator and denominator. For the numerator, n^2-7n-144, the factors are (n-11) and (n+4). For the denominator, n2-121, the factors are (n-11) and (n+11). We can cancel out like terms, which is (n-11), leaving the lowest term (n+4) / (n+11).
