Perform operation
3/ * 2a+2/
a²+a 6
What in the world are you trying to type?
Type fractions like this (a+b)/(c+d)
I have a feeling you meant to type
[3/(a^2 + a)][(2a + 2)/6]
= 3/((a(a+1))*(a(a+1))/6
= 1/a , a cannot be equal to -1
Perform operation
3/a^2 x 2a+2/6
second last line should read
= 3/((a(a+1))*(2(a+1))/6
To perform the given operation, let's simplify the expression step by step:
1. Start by simplifying the numerator of the fraction: 2a + 2.
Since there are no like terms, we cannot combine them further.
2. Next, simplify the denominator of the fraction: a² + a.
This expression can be factorized as a(a + 1), where a is a common factor in both terms.
3. Now, rewrite the expression: (2a + 2) / (a(a + 1)).
4. Multiply the numerator and denominator by the reciprocal of the denominator to simplify the division:
((2a + 2) * 1) / (a(a + 1)) = (2a + 2) / (a(a + 1)).
So, the final simplified expression is (2a + 2) / (a(a + 1)).
