Simplify each complex fraction. [ (-2)/(x+h) - (-2)/x ] / h

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Start by rewriting the complex fraction clearly: \(\frac{\frac{-2}{x+h} - \frac{-2}{x}}{h}\).
Simplify the numerator by combining the two fractions: \(\frac{-2}{x+h} - \left(-\frac{2}{x}\right) = \frac{-2}{x+h} + \frac{2}{x}\).
Find a common denominator for the numerator fractions, which is \(x(x+h)\), and rewrite each fraction with this common denominator: \(\frac{-2x}{x(x+h)} + \frac{2(x+h)}{x(x+h)}\).
Combine the fractions in the numerator over the common denominator: \(\frac{-2x + 2(x+h)}{x(x+h)}\).
Now, rewrite the entire expression as a division by \(h\): \(\frac{\frac{-2x + 2(x+h)}{x(x+h)}}{h} = \frac{-2x + 2(x+h)}{x(x+h)} \times \frac{1}{h}\).

Complex Fractions

A complex fraction is a fraction where the numerator, denominator, or both contain fractions themselves. Simplifying involves rewriting the expression as a single fraction by finding common denominators or multiplying numerator and denominator appropriately.

Finding Common Denominators

When subtracting or adding fractions, you must find a common denominator to combine them into a single fraction. This involves identifying the least common multiple of the denominators and rewriting each fraction accordingly.
