Question

Can someone help me solve this problem that I made? It is -1/a^3 + 1/a^2 + 1

Answer 1

Why did you make it?
And if you made it why can't you solve it?

Answer 2

Because I was told to make it. I suck at adding and subtracting fractions with variables.

Answer 3

you made it from scratch ?

Answer 4

what do you want to solve for ?

Answer 5

I just need to simplify it, and yes, I just made it up.

Answer 6

simplify? I wasn't able to really make it *simpler*, but I did find other ways of writing it, like (a^3+a-1)/a^3 or -(-a^3-a+1)/a^3 ... those are the alternative forms. :)

Answer 7

so (a^3+a-1)/a^3 is the answer

Answer 8

Okay, I guess that works :P Thanks

Answer 9

haha! :) Hopefully you will start hating me a little less... @poopsiedoodle
