Question 109489: I can't seem to figure this one out, can you please help me?
x^3+1/x^3-x^2+x * 6x/-24x-24
Answer by stanbon(75887) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
[x^3+1/x^3-x^2+x] * [6x/-24x-24]
[(x+1)(x^2-x+1)/x(x^2-x+1)]
[(x+1)(x^2-x+1)/x(x^2-x+1)]
Cancel (x+1),(x^2-x+1),x,6 to get:
[1/1] * [1/-4]
= -1/4
