dividing fractions equation below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first, you want to flip the second fraction, so the bottom is on top, and the top is on bottom. Understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so once you have those flipped, you want to cancel out any variables that are the same on both bottom and top. Do you see any?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok 2x^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you mean 2x^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so once you cancel those out, you are left with \[9x +9/-5x-12 \times -4x ^{2}-4x+80\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops. I wrote that wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(9x+9/-5x-12) x (-4x^2-4x+80/x^2+8x+15) I hope you have paper you're doing this on. The next thing you need to do is see if you can simplify anything. Can you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what about the second part of this equation. you can use the quadratic formula to simplify both the bottom and top. Do you know the quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do let me use that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tell me when you have it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so then i have (my math may be wrong) |dw:1335489680101:dw|
