multiply. then simplify if possible. problem below

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

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

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

i factored it to \[\frac{ 6(t+1) }{ t^2 (t+2) } \times \frac{ t(t-2)(t-1) }{ 3(t+1) }\]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

first factorise the tops and bottoms of the fractions eg 6t + 6 = 6(t + 1) t^3 - 3t^2 + 2t = t(

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

ok now cancel out the like terms eg (t +1) disapperas from top and bottom

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

also t /t^ = 1/t and 6/3 = 2

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

* t / t^2 = 1/t

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

so its now: \[\frac{ 6 }{ t^2(t+2) } \times \frac{ t(t-2)(t-1) }{ 3 }\] ?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

now do the 2 thing i said above

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

how would i type that?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

it comes to 2(t - 1)(t - 2) ------------ t(t + 2)

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

and thats it?
