Question

w^2-2w-3/w^2-2w+1 * w-1/w-3 multiply and simplify

Answer 1

=(w-3)(w+1)/(w-1)^2 *(w-1)/(w-3)
cancel out (w-1) & (w-3)

Answer 2

=(w+1)/(w-1)

Answer 3

Once you multiply you get
(w^3-2w^2-3w-w^2+2w+3)/(w^3-2w^2+w-3w^2+6w-3) Then combine like terms to get
(w^3-3w^2-w+3)/(w^3-5w^2+7w-3)

Answer 4

Pfft inik did it the easier way....why you so good!? XD

Answer 5

i'm lazy... hate long multiplications :)

Answer 6

XD My pre-cal teacher does a bunch of the long way ones, he's evil.

Answer 7

said answer was wrong

Answer 8

oups!
let's check!

Answer 9

nope... still getting:
(w+1)/(w-1)

did you check original problem?

Answer 10

it's (w+1) divide by (w-1)...
please check again. I do not see any mistakes

Answer 11

it wanted w-1/w-3

Answer 12

how?
did you see the solution above?
w^2-2w-3=(w-3)(w+1)

so, you have to have (w+1) in answer...
can't get it. check with your teacher... something is wrong
