Question 890650: Eliminate negative exponents and rationalize the denominator in the final answer.
[(3x+5)^1/3 — x/(3x+5)^2/3] / (3x+5)^2/3
I have no idea where to start on this problem. I was trying to solve the subtraction problem in the numerator but the "x" is throwing me off. This problem has rational exponents and complex fractions; both of which I have forgotten how to handle.
