So \[\large \sf \frac{4t^{2}-1}{15t+10} \div \frac{4t^{2}-4t+1}{3t+5t+2}\] Does that look right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well you know what you should do when you divide fractions right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no clue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Turn them into multiplication?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply by the reciprocal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take the fraction on the right. Flip the numerator and denominator. Then multiply it to the fraction on the left.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help? i dont really know how to multiply these

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just set it up in multiplication form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like this: 4t^2-1/15t+10 times 3ty^2+5t+2/4t^2-4t+1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that looks right in form, but where did that "y^2" come from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt mean to put the y just ignore that so it should be 4t^2-1/15t+10 times 3t^2+5t+2/4t^2-4t+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do i do from there. like how exactly do i multiply them? i honestly have no clue how to do this at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same thing, why is it "3t^2" now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what it was from the original equation, you just forgot to put it when you typed it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt catch it until now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what you have in your first post "3t+5t+2" and you confirmed that what I had was correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The equation i have on my work sheet is 4t^2-1/15t+10 divided by 4t^2-4t+1/3t^2+5t+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i typed it wrong the first time that one is correct
