Technical Documentation Review: Factoring and Simplification Procedures

During a routine audit of our company’s internal technical documentation, you are reviewing a section that explains the simplification of the expression p32p2+2p4p27p+10\frac{p^3-2p^2+2p-4}{p^2-7p+10} used in a system optimization algorithm. To ensure the documentation is technically complete and aligns with our training standards, write a brief essay recalling the specific mathematical details of this process. In your response, you must explicitly name the factoring technique used for the four-term numerator and the technique used for the quadratic denominator. Furthermore, identify the specific common binomial factor that is canceled during the simplification and state the final simplified expression that remains.
