PLEASE HELP: Divide then simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x+y }{ x^3-x^2} \div \frac{ x^2+y^2 }{ x^2-x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just multiply the first term by the reciprocal

OpenStudy (jack1):

= ... flip the 2nd equation (denominator becomes numerator, vice versa) far easier to multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

((x+y)/(x^3-x^2))*(x^2+y^2)/((x^2-x))

OpenStudy (jack1):

@123789dftr dude u didnt do the recipricol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whoops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

((x+y)/(x^3-x^2))*((x^2-x)/(x^2+y^2))

OpenStudy (jack1):

\[\frac{ (x+y) }{ (x^3-x^2) } \times \frac{(x^2-x)}{ (x^2+y^2) } \] \[\frac{ (x+y)(x^2-x) }{ (x^3-x^2)(x^2+y^2) }\] now cancel common factors
