Question

Help me pleaseeee??????

Answer 1

Ok, what do you need help with?

Answer 2

remember that divided by fraction is same as multiplied by its reciprocal.

So you should do that, then you can see that \((5x^2-1)\) should be cancelled.

Answer 3

oh yea

Answer 4

@geerky42 i think its D am i right?

Answer 5

Really? What happened to \(x+2\) and \(x-2\)?

Answer 6

they would cancle eachother out right cause -2+ 2 would be 0 and you would just be left with x

Answer 7

None, that's not how it should be. you have two different factors, which is x-2 and x+2

you cannot cancel factors out, unless they are same.

\(\dfrac{x+2}{x-2} \neq\dfrac{x}{x}=1\)

Answer 8

oh okay so what would it be

Answer 9

What have you tried cook?

Answer 10

@iambatman what do you mean

Answer 11

Because x-2 and x+2 don't cancel each other out, would you think answer is C?

Answer 12

yea that seem right

Answer 13

You can cancel out the (5x^2 -1) terms because when you divide, one of those terms will go to the denominator.

Answer 14

I meant have you tried this problem out yourself yet, and used what geerky said?

Answer 15

@iambatman yes i did i just did it wrong and geerky explained it

Answer 16

Cool, well for this problem see if you can cancel some stuff out right away? Do you see anything in numerator and denominator that you can take away/ simplify?

Answer 17

(x-2)

Answer 18

and (x+1)

Answer 19

Nice, now what can you do with the 8 and 4?

Answer 20

divivde by 4

Answer 21

Very good

Answer 22

So what are you left with?

Answer 23

2 and 1

Answer 24

I'm not sure what you mean, can you elaborate?

Answer 25

Ah as in 2 in the numerator and 1 in denominator :)

Answer 26

it would be 8 times (x+2) / 1(x+1
