Question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tag me when you are ready and I can see if I can help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if your given something like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[((3t^2-5)(10)-(1+2t)(12t))/ (3t^2-5)^3 \] could you just cancel out the 3t^2 -5 ? which would make (3t^2-5)^2 at the bpottom?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im saying no, because the numbers after the minus sign dont have a 3t^2-5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MSxSammiBooxX

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am confused as to what you are asking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like can i cancel the 3t^2-5 in the numerator and the denominator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so you have \(\dfrac{(3t^2-5)(10)-(1+2t)(12t)}{3t^2-5^3}\) You would have to simplify first before you do any canceling

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically i catn because simplifying the numerator is not gonna give me 3t^2-5 and oh its not 3t^2-5^3 for the denominator its (3t^2-5)^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you break up the fraction into two parts you can do it to one part but not the other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ (3t-5)(10) }{ (3t-5)^3 }-\frac{ (1+2t)(12t) }{ (3t-5)^3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if that helps you at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh.... right T>T that didnt cross my head yeah it did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when your finding the GCF from lets say |dw:1428557652573:dw| do you have to take out from each (dont know the right term but here goes) area?
