Question

Help me approach this by simplifying. Don't know how to get this answer.

Answer 1

\[\frac{x^{-2}}{x^{-2}-\left(6x\right)^{-2}}\]

Answer 2

The answer is 36/35

Answer 3

@robtobey @ganeshie8

Answer 4

apply the exponent on 6x to each of them.

Answer 5

with the -2 exponent?

Answer 6

Yes. \((6x)^{-2}\) = \(6^{-2}x^{-2}\)

Answer 7

Then see if you cannot cancel something.

Answer 8

never mind I found out a way to solve it

Answer 9

What I did was to change \[x^{-2} into x^{1/2}\]

Answer 10

but really appreciate the help and effort

Answer 11

\[x^{-2} into x^{1/2} \] This is not correct. \[x ^{-2}=\frac{ 1 }{ x^2 }\] and \[x ^{1/2 }= \sqrt{x}\]

Answer 12

Sorry that's what I meant @mathmale typo
