Can ANYONE simplify this?

((x^2-1)^2(-2x+6)-(-x^2+6x-1)(2)(x^2-1)(2x))/((x^2-1)^2)^2

if this is for homework, just write down a bullshit answer. it doesn't matter anyways.

well sorry then. i think there is a way to plug that into your graphing calculator and get it all simplified out.

Good luck. I'm sure there are many people on this site that can do it, but it's pretty tideous. You'd have to be pretty bored to do it for no reason.

I started doing it, but by the time I wrote the formula down on a piece of paper, I got bored

i got (x^4+8x^2-16x+7)/(x^8-1), but i didn't spend a lot of time on it or check it so make sure im right.

Original:
((x^2-1)^2(-2x+6)-(-x^2+6x-1)(2) (x^2-1)(2x))/((x^2-1)^2)^2
Simplified:
((x^2-1)e^2(-2x+6)-(-x^2+7x)(2) (x^4x)2/((x^2-1)e(4x)

Now here is a question for you. Why wouyou ever believe anyone on NS to do your math homework??? In the time it took you to post this you wold of probably of had it done by now

Uhm, the way I read that equation, the denominator cancels out, so no one should have division in their final answer. Once the denominator is eliminated its a matter of simplification.

Take note:

the denominator is (((x^2-1)^2)^2)

and

the first term in the numerator is (x^2-1)^2

and

later in the numerator there is another (x^2-1)

thus (if my bogus math skills serve me right)

part of the numerator translates into the denominator "(((x^2-1)^2)^2)"

thereby

the denominator is cancelled out.

hahaha... I think.

So then only this should be left: (-2x+6) - (-x^2+6x-1)(2)(2x)

You can go from there.

But whatever, fuck math, and fuck me for contributing to NS's stupidest math thread of all time.

you cant divide out the denominator and numerator. there is a minus sign, so that shit dont work. parenthesis first, then exponents.

Hey thanks to some of you guys who actually tried to help. I eventually figured it out. Although i couldn't figure out how to do it with my calculator. And it is my Calculus class in grade 12 (senior). Thanks agian.

I don't see where the calculus is in that. Its just algebra. However, it is said that you only really learn algebra in Calculus. I forget where you really learn Calculus. As far as I can see, because of that minus sign you should still have a denominator, but it will be one less power.
