Question

How do I finish this problem?
simplifying rational expressions using GCF

Answer 1

This is the expression to simplify.

Answer 2

I got the GCF, x^3, and this is how far I got. But now I'm not sure which terms to cancel out.
\[\frac{ (x^3*x)+(x^3*x^3) }{ x^3 * 1 }\]

Answer 3

\[\frac{x^6+x^4}{x^3}=\frac{x^3 \left(x^3+x\right)}{x^3}=x^3+x \]

Answer 4

I didn't get to you in time. :'(

Answer 5

I got the same answer, though. ;D
If you want, you can take out ''x'' from both to get:
\[x(x ^{2}+1)\]
Either answer works. :D

Answer 6

Oh, OK. I see how to do it now. Thank you to both of you:)
