Question

Need help to simplify ((x)/(x+1))/x^3 I know the answer is 1/(x^2(x+1)) but I need help on how to get the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The division can be expressed as

$\frac{x}{x+1}$ ÷ x³

Change division to multiplication and invert the divisor, that is

$\frac{x}{x+1}$ × $\frac{1}{x^3}$

Cancelling x and x³ by x gives

$\frac{1}{x^2(x+1)}$
