Capitolo 1, Problema 75

Simplify each complex fraction. See Examples 5 and 6. [ (−4/3) + 12/5 ] / [ 1 − (−4/3)(12/5) ]

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the complex fraction structure: the numerator is \(\left(-\frac{4}{3}\right) + \frac{12}{5}\) and the denominator is \(1 - \left(-\frac{4}{3}\right) \times \frac{12}{5}\).
Simplify the numerator by finding a common denominator and adding the fractions: calculate \(-\frac{4}{3} + \frac{12}{5}\).
Simplify the denominator by first multiplying the fractions inside the parentheses: compute \(\left(-\frac{4}{3}\right) \times \frac{12}{5}\), then subtract this product from 1.
Rewrite the complex fraction as a division of two simplified fractions: \(\frac{\text{numerator}}{\text{denominator}}\) becomes \(\text{numerator} \div \text{denominator}\).
Perform the division by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, then simplify the resulting fraction by reducing common factors.
