Question

How do yo change how a fraction looks. Something about -1. Cant remember. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can change a fraction into a mixed fraction or improper fraction.
A mixed fraction is something like this
\[4\frac{2}{3}\]
A improper fraction is something like this.
\[\frac{14}{3}\]

Answer 2

If you want to make an integer a fraction you just put 1 as the denominator...
So if you want to make 5 a fraction.
\[\frac{5}{1}\]

Answer 3

This is not what i meant.
I want to turn (4x-1) into 1-4x

Answer 4

That's not a fraction.

Answer 5

24x^4-8x^3+3/(4x-1)^2

Answer 6

I wnat to change it into 24x^4-8x^3+3/(1-4x)^2

Answer 7

why do you want to do that?

Answer 8

Are you meant to simplify that fraction?

Answer 9

Alternative form
forgot how to do it

Answer 10

If i divide the whole expression by -1/1 that works.

Answer 11

but you can't change the inside when there's a power beside it...

Answer 12

if it was (4x-1) then okay you can do it. But if it's (4x-1)^2, would only be changing one of the (4x-1). You would have this (1-4x)(4x-1)

Answer 13

So whats the thinking behind changing it. Dont see how its been done.

Answer 14

Oh my goodness. This is the third time I have answered this question for you.
\[(4x-1)^2=(4x-1)(4x-1)\]\[(4x-1)=-(1-4x)\]\[-(1-4x)*-(1-4x)=(-1)^2(1-4x)^2\]\[(4x-1)^2=(1-4x)^2\]
