Remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the inverse - so dividing by -1/x^2 is the same as multiplying by -x^2. So, the \[\huge \frac{ \frac{ 3 }{ x^2 } }{ \frac{ -1 }{x^2 } } = \frac{ 3 }{ x^2 }*(-x^2)\]

But my fraction is different

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

that's part of the fraction... it was easier to write. The same principle applies.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\huge \frac{ \frac{ 1 }{ 1-3/x }*\frac{ 3 }{ x^2 } }{ \frac{ -1 }{x^2 } } = \frac{ 1 }{ 1-3/x } * \frac{ 3 }{ x^2 }*(-x^2)\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

the x^2's cancel leaving\[\LARGE \frac{ 1 }{ 1-3/x } * \frac{ 3 }{ x^2 }*(-x^2) = \frac{ -3 }{1-3/x }\]
