One portion of a problem boils down to "express 1/(3x^6 + 86x^3 + 135) as a QUOTIENT".
Well, it is a quotient already. And it can't be neatly simplified or factored. What are they asking for? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! All I can figure is that somehow they want you to
find the value of , then plug it into the
denominator, and come up with a decimal
number for the fraction.
