My daughter has just asked for help with her maths homework, anyone understand this?
3x + 6
-----
x2 - 4
Simplify fully.
I'm rubbish at maths!
BB
What level is your daughter at and does that equal anything in particular?
That expression can be simplified like this
3(x+2)
------
(x+2)(x-2)
Which then becomes
3
-----
(x-2)
[edit] I'm assuming that x2 is x squared.
Of course this is still a bit nonsense as you haven't actually asked a question. What whas she supposed to do with the expression and more importantly why is she asking at 7-45 on a Friday morning?
Your question is confusing!
Is that ((3 times X) plus 6 ) divided by (( 2 times X ) minus 4 ) ) ?
or something else ?
Edit: Ah, bottom is x squared!, beaten to it.
I think you all might be assuming it's more complex than it is:
X + 2
X - 2
gonefishin has it IMO
For x not equal to +/-2, naturally. 🙂
