Simplify each expression. Assume that all variables represent positive real numbers. I'm lost in the issue. Can someone please assist... Thanks in advance
\[(-x\frac{ 2}{ 3 } \times x\frac{ 1}{ 2 })\div (x \times -x\frac{ 3}{ 2 } )\]
can you simplify \(-x \frac{2}{3} \times x \frac{1} {3} \)?
yes... -x^2 2/3
i meant 2/9
yes ... :) now, what about \[ \Large x \times -x \frac{3}{2} \]
\[-x ^{2} -1 \frac{ 1 }{ 2} \]
are you sure? why is there two terms there? check it again...
\[-x ^{2}\frac{ 1 }{ 2}\]
or it may be -2x^2 1/2
wow i'm messing that all up
it's \[\Large x \times -x \frac{3}{2} = -\frac{3}{2} x^{2} \] do you get it?
but also at the beginning i see that u stated 2/3 and 1/3...it should of been 2/3 and 1/2 ...
the first one it's correct \[\Large -\frac{2}{9} x^{2} \]
so now you have \[\Large \left( -\frac{2}{9} x^{2} \right) \div \left( -\frac{3}{2} x^2 \right) \] can you simplify?
yes you can but the original problem was \[(-x\frac{ 2}{ 3 } \times x\frac{ 1}{ 2 })\div (x \times -x\frac{ 3}{ 2 } )\]
aahh...., I made mistake it should be 2/6 sorry
so now i got -1/3 x^2 divided by -3/2 x^2
yess... and simplify it ...
2/9x
x^2
or do the x^2 cancel out?
what is x^2 divided by x^2
