Complex fractions...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left[\frac{ 1 }{ 3+x }-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\right] \over x\]

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

add the top, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't you have to have like denominators to add the top??? and i cant figure out how to make them the same

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, preferably, yes, but when you don't have such, you can always make the LCD just the product of all the denominators

OpenStudy (anonymous):

won't that make the numerator zero? if it helps, i'm trying to evaluate the liit of this as it approaches zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

limit*

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \cfrac{ \frac{ 1 }{ 3+x }-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } }{ x } \implies \cfrac{ \frac{ 3-(3+x) }{3(3+x) } }{x}\implies \cfrac{ \frac{ 3-3-x }{3(3+x) } }{x}\implies \cfrac{ 3-3-x }{3(3+x) } \times \cfrac{1}{x}\) recalll that \(\bf \cfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} \implies \cfrac{a}{b}\times \cfrac{d}{c}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, you never said anything about limit :|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

but anyhow , the same applies
