Question

am i correct?
10x^6 + 8x^4 / 2x^2 = 9x^12

Answer 1

I'm assuming the original expression is

\[\large \frac{10x^6 + 8x^4}{2x^2}\]

right?

Answer 2

yes jim

Answer 3

so you can either break up the fraction and reduce, or you can factor out 2x^2 from the numerator and reduce

Answer 4

Break up the fraction like so:\[\Large \frac{10x^6 + 8x^4}{2x^2} = \frac{10x^6}{2x^2}+ \frac{8x^4}{2x^2}\]

Answer 5

if you were to factor out 2x^2, you would get

\[\large \frac{10x^6 + 8x^4}{2x^2}\]

\[\large \frac{2x^2(5x^4 + 4x^2)}{2x^2}\]

hopefully you see what to do next

Answer 6

got it thx
