reduce this algebraic fraction. b^2-3b-10/(b-2)^2*b-2/b-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im really bummed on this question.. I have been trying to do it for hours..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i'll give it a try if you're still there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this how it's supposed to look like: http://prntscr.com/2mxw0i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No... b^2-3b-10/(b-2)^2 * b-2/b-5 (/ = the fraction bar and the ^ stands for exponents.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like this then http://prntscr.com/2mxxkp ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No its complicated...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you could represent your question a bit better i'd be appriciated :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not a problem that'd take long to solve, if just i could get the right form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b^2-3b-10/(b-2)^2 * b-2/b-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/2mxzs0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. That's what the problem looks like...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay cool, give me a few minutes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yupp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i'll just write it into latx, i got the result

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How late will you be on??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for starters, you've got this, now you just cancel out each part. i'll write the last things in, in a sec http://prntscr.com/2my28p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll probably got to bed in 30 min, it's 4:30 in the morning here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Holy crap.... I need help with all the problems I have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what you end up with http://prntscr.com/2my2pm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for most reduction problems you just gotta know all the basic rules and pemdas. Then just use your imagination and it'll be easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can do a few more problems before im off to bed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if your really need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That would be very helpful.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x^2-y^2/8x^2+10xy+3y^2 * 4x^2-9xy-9y^2/2x^2-5xy-3y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here you go http://prntscr.com/2my5pe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's just plain factorization all the way, and then cancel out the expressions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks, I have problems with these kinds of problems..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you do it enough times it'll be easy, practice makes perfect :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For x-y/x^2-1 * x-1/x^2-y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have had problems with Fractions when they started it in school....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/2my82g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wish I had your math ability...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^3+a^2+b/5a * 25/3b+3a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer be 5a/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it just 25 straight ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the numrator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea just 25.. nothing else....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to the other problem, just as a side note, it's possible to get 1 in the numorator since: http://prntscr.com/2my8yb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't make the = sign in this latex program, but there's = between all the expressions, from one step to the other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I seen... I understood that... Lol.. I am working on the next problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/2myb0e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/2myb5b is probably the simplest expression you can get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I got it right just need to take out the a....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One more? Or do you need to go to sleep for school?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i've got some lectures this morning yea, i should propbably get a few hours :P good luck with the rest :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks a lot... I really appreciate it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hehe no problem, i love math :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool... can u text and do problems? I have school tomorrow at 3 and could use the help...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ye sure
