Help me on this question please :D Question posted below

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

\[ \huge\dfrac{ x -5 +6x ^{-1} }{ 1-2x ^{-1} }\]

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

@Ammarah @Reaper534

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

@Luis_Rivera please help

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

@Azteck help please :)

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

im guessing you would put x on the denominator and the numerator :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait. Just came back.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Convert the 6x^-1 to 6/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do the same for -2x^-1. That will be -2/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make the numerator into one single fraction. Do the same for the denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \frac{ \frac{ x^2-5x+6 }{ x } }{ x-2 } }{ x }=\frac{ (x-2)(x-3) }{ x }\times \frac{ x }{ x-2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you increase font like what you did? Do you use html tags or something?

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

just write huge infront of whatever

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

and every time you have a fraction /frac you write /dfrac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AH okay. I see. what's dfrac?

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

makes fractions look big idk :P

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/50e5a4dce4b028291d75329f \[\Huge{\color{red}{\frak{It} \space \text{is} \space \mathbb{\color{blue}{\LaTeX} !!}}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge \dfrac{ \dfrac{ \dfrac{ x^2-5x+6 }{ x } }{ x-2 } }{ x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's waht I was supposed to write.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

dont use dfrac lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lolz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do you get what to do with this question now?

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

the x's cancel right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But the main and most important thing about this question is combining all the terms into one fraction.

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

yep i get it now thank you!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That should be applied both on the numerator and denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. You're welcome.

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

err wait a sec lol... \[ \frac{ x ^{2} -5x +6 }{ x-2 }\] how did you get there lol?

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

@Azteck Im sorry i though the question was x - 5 + 6 on the numerator... how did it turn to x^2 - 5x + 6

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

@AonZ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's 6x^-1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Kuoministers

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

6/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good, so what do you get when you add 5 to it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

minus 5 sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(6/x)-5=?

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

oh 6 -5x / x

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

i get it now thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):
