simplify the complex fraction:
Put 1 under the 2 and the m so that
everything will be fractions:
Put parentheses around every fraction in the
top and in the bottom:
Look at all the denominators top
and bottom: ,,,,
The LCD of all those is ,
write that as and multiply every term
in both the top and the bottom by it:
Now cancel what will cancel and simplify:
That's probably as far as you need to go. You can
arrange the numerator in descending order of powers
of x.
The top will factor by taking out a 6
The top factors again,
But since the bottom does not factor, there was
no need to factor the top, because nothing
cancels.
