OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that a divided by symbol \(\div\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok you got \[\frac{a^2-2a+1}{6(a-1)^2}\] then as a first step now we factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the numerator is also \((a-1)^2\) so the whole thing is \[\frac{(a-1)^2}{6(a-1)^2}=\frac{1}{6}\] you are asked for just the denominator, which is \(6\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u get the bottom part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divided by means it goes in the denominator, like \[10\div 3=\frac{10}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
