Divide and Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "(5x-5)/121 divided by (x-1)/55x
\n" ); document.write( "Invert the denominator and multiply:
\n" ); document.write( "(5x-5)/121 times 55x/(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "Factor:
\n" ); document.write( "{5(x-1)/11^2 * 5(11x)/(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel common factors such as (x-1) and 11 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "[5/11]
\n" ); document.write( "= (25x)/11
\n" ); document.write( "===================
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify by removing factors of 1:
\n" ); document.write( "(m^2 - 36)/ (m+6)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Factor:
\n" ); document.write( "[(m-6)(m+6)]/(m+6)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel common factors such as (m+6) to get:
\n" ); document.write( "(m-6)/(m+6)
\n" ); document.write( "====================
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Mulitply and Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "9x^2/(4x^2-32x+64) times (4x-16)/3x
\n" ); document.write( "Factor:
\n" ); document.write( "9x^2/[4(x^2-8x+16)] times (4(x-4))/3x
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Factor:
\n" ); document.write( "9x^2/[4(x-4)^2] times (4(x-4))/3x
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel common factors such as 3x, 4, (x-4) to get:
\n" ); document.write( "3x/(x-4) times 1/1
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 3x/(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "======================
