Question

Please help! Kind of confused over the process of this question.

Answer 1

\[3a - \frac{ 3 }{ a - \frac{ 3 }{ a } }\]

Answer 2

Wow i think i have a way to solve it but i want to be clear
thats all right? its not multiple choice or anything?

Answer 3

Yeah. It's not multiple choice.

Answer 4

Just simply simplify.

Answer 5

okay first you need to simplify the bottom

Answer 6

@stefrheart So is the bottom \[\frac{ a^2 - 3}{ a }\]?

Answer 7

woah..

Answer 8

\[\large
3a - \frac{ 3 }{ a - \frac{ 3 }{ a } } = 3a - \frac{ 3 }{ \frac{ a^2-3 }{ a } } =
3a - \frac{ 3a }{ a^2-3} = \frac{3a^3-9a-3a}{a^2-3} = \\ \large
\frac{3a^3-12a}{a^2-3} = \frac{3a(a^2-4)}{a^2-3} =
\frac{3a(a-2)(a+2)}{a^2-3} \\ \large
\]

Answer 9

yeah thats what i got @aum not what you got @jojokiw3
