How do you simplify #(x/9 - 1/x) / (1+ 3/x) #?
1 Answer
Explanation:
For this particular problem, we'd have to take note of some algebraic properties such as
In this case, we follow this property to start simplifying:
We can simplify further by multiplying top and bottom (numerator and denominator) by the reciprocal of
We've now simplified our expression, although we're not done yet.
Note that we can still factor the top (numerator), that is,
In order to factor this expression, we proceed as follows:
Solving for
Since the solutions are
