Hi I am learning about rational expression and so far I am pretty good at multiplying. My question is how do you divide?
Here is a problem that I am having trouble with..
6p-18 3p-9
----- / ----
9p p²+2p
This is what I have so far
6(p-3) 3(p-3)
------ / ------
9p p(p+2)
Can you show me what is next? Thanks.
You are OK so far.
[6(p-3)/(9p)]/{3(p-3)/[p(p+2)]} =
6(p-3) p(p+2)
------ x ------ =
9p 3(p-3)
[6/9] x [(p+2)/3] =
(2/9)(p+2)
