I would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks so much (2x(1/3))/1-(1/3)^2
confused a bit. looks like \[\frac{2x \times \frac{1}{3}}{1-(\frac{1}{3})^2}\] but that doesn't really make sense.
perhaps the 'x' is a times sign?
lol oh yes, I'm sorry. The x was a multiplication sign.
ah so it is \[\frac{2\times \frac{1}{3}}{1-(\frac{1}{3})^2}\]
we get \[\frac {\frac{2}{3}}{1-\frac{1}{9}}\]
Yes, exactly! And I'm stuck. I got my answer as (18/27)/9 which I highly doubt is correct.
\[=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{8}{9}}\] \[=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{9}{8}\] \[=\frac{3}{4}\] if my arithmetic is correct.
How may I ask did you get 8/9?
\[1-\frac{1}{9}=\frac{9}{9}-\frac{1}{9}=\frac{8}{9}\]
lol aye yi yi, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
welcome!
