Anyone want to help me please?:))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let the question be revealed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 9x ^{2}-1 }{ 8x-4 }\div \frac{ 3x ^{2}+5x-2 }{ 2x ^{2}+1x-1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

change the "division" to multiplication and flip the fraction after it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then factor out each of the polynomials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so it's the keep change flip thing correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep. lets see how you do it though.. to make sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll try and get back to you:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \frac{(3x-1)(3x+1)}{4(2x-1)}\times\frac{2x^2+x-1}{3x^2+5x-2} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh thanks that's nice of you:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factorize the two trinomials on the right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Will do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \left( x+1 \right)\left( 2x-1 \right) }{ \left( x+2 \right)\left( 3x-1 \right) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@electrokid :)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I got it \[\frac{\left( 3x-1 \right) \left( 3x+1 \right) \left( x+1 \right)}{ 4\left( 5x+7 \right) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check the cancellations again...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that (3x-1) wouldnt be there anu=ymore

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I give up!! Thanks:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what? \[ \frac{\cancel{(3x-1)}(3x+1)}{4\cancel{(2x-1)}}\times\frac{ \left( x+1 \right)\cancel{\left( 2x-1 \right)} }{ \left( x+2 \right)\cancel{( 3x-1)} } \]
