Question

Simplify the quantity 1 over 36 minus 1 over x squared all over 1 over 6 plus 1 over x

Answer 1

((1/36)-(1/x^2))/(1/6)+(1/x)

is the x^2 correct? or is it (1/x)^2?

Answer 2

its correct the way it is.

Answer 3

(1/36 - 1/x²)/(1/6 + 1/x)

Multiply the top and bottom by 36x² to get:

(x² - 36)/(6x² + 36x)

Then, by factoring and reducing...

(x - 6)(x + 6)/(6x(x + 6)) [Note that the common factors at x + 6]

So the solution is (x - 6)/6x.
