Question

What is the product in simplest form? State any restrictions on the variable.
y^2/y-3 x y^2-y-6/y^2+1y

Answer 1

throw some brackets in there, its a mess and can be interpreted too many different ways

Answer 2

also, there's an equation button just below where you type replier which makes it heaps easier to read and understand questions

Answer 3

\[\frac{ y^2 }{ y-3 } \times \frac{ y^2 - y- 6 }{ y^2+1y}\]

Answer 4

ok
\[\frac{ y(y+2) }{ y+1 }\]

Answer 5

Thank you :)

Answer 6

all good, understand how to get there?

Answer 7

not exactly, could you explain?

Answer 8

top line (numerator) : y^2 (y^2 - y - 6)

Answer 9

becomes y^4 -y^3 -6y^2

Answer 10

bottom line (denominator): (y-3) (y^2 + y)

Answer 11

becomes y^3 +y^2 -3y^2 -3y
=y^3 -2y^2 -3y

Answer 12

That is very helpful, thank you for explaining it to me

Answer 13

all of the above works because when you multiply a fraction by a fraction, you times the numerators together and times the denominators together
so our equation now reads:

Answer 14

all good, you understand now?

Answer 15

yes thank you :)

Answer 16
