okay so did you mean:
$$(4a/5) / (a^2 - (16/3))$$?

anonymous · Answer

yes, I wasnt exactly sure how to put it on here

bahrom7893 · Answer

okay first, look at the denominator:
$$a^2 - 16/3$$

bahrom7893 · Answer

Simplify it (find the common denominator):
$$a^2 - (16/3) = (3a^2-16)/3$$

bahrom7893 · Answer

Now rewrite this:
$$(4a/5) / (a^2 - (16/3)$$
As:
$$(4a/5)/((3a^2-16)/3)$$

bahrom7893 · Answer

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its inverse.

bahrom7893 · Answer

$$(4a/5) * (3/(3a^2-16))$$

bahrom7893 · Answer

Simplify:

bahrom7893 · Answer

$$12a/(5(3a^2 - 16))$$
