Simplify: x^2+8x/x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tell me what you think it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And i'll help you from there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, looks like I have to go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is x + 8 / x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't even know... All I know is that I think I have to factor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill give you a medal... Please help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first thing you want to do is COMBINE like terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If I can remember properly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really really need to do this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nothing really combines together in this equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If I don't finish this by 2 I will be grounded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes exactly... You cant combine anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The exponents cancel each other out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So now you're left with x + 8x / x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmmm, now what to do with 8x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe we would cancel out that X, and leave only the coeffecient.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cancel out the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So now you have x+ 8 / x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANKYOU SO MUCH!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would you like the link to a website that can help you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Unless you can help me with 4 other problems...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

www.mathway.com - I would use it strongly just for checking your work, because if you rely on it completely, the EoC will be a lot more of a challenge for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://www.mathway.com

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can simplify for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good luck!
