How do I divide (12x^3 +2y)/(2x+4y^3)?
Answered by oobleck
boy, there's not much to do there. You can factor out a 2, but that just gives you

(6x^3+y)/(x+2y^3)

which you can't massage much. Long division just gives you

6x^2 - 12xy^3 + 24y^6 + (y-48y^9)/(x+2y^3)

Is there something else involved here?
Answered by 123
yes it is above this question. x(12x^3 +2y)/y(2x+4y^3)
Answered by 123
from x/y = (6x^3+y)/(x+2y^3)

Not much help. It still doesn't lend itself to any kind of algebraic manipulation. The numeric solutions are along the lines of
x = ±0.4683
y = ±0.2684, ±1.4156
