simplify and reduce:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E2%2B2x%29%2F%284x-3%29\"/\"6x%5E3%2F%288x%5E2-2x-3%29\" Flip and multiply the second expression:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28x%5E2%2B2x%29%2F%284x-3%29%29%2A%28%288x%5E2-2x-3%29%2F%286x%5E3%29%29\" Factor everything completely, I'm using the ac method for the trinomial:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%28x%2B2%29%2F%284x-3%29%29%2A%28%288x%5E2-6x%2B4x-3%29%2F%28x%2A6x%5E2%29%29\" Since you see that an x was factored out of (x^2+2x), factor out an x from 6x^3, so that they can cancel.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%28x%2B2%29%2F%284x-3%29%29%2A%28%282x%284x-3%29%2B1%284x-3%29%29%2F%28x%2A6x%5E2%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%28x%2B2%29%2F%284x-3%29%29%2A%28%282x%2B1%29%284x-3%29%2F%28x%2A6x%5E2%29%29\" Cancel all the numerators and denominators that match each other:
\n" ); document.write( " Multiply what's left:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28%28x%2B2%29%282x%2B1%29%2F6x%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!!
