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

see explanation

Explanation:

The division can be expressed as

`(x)/(x+1)` ÷ x³

Change division to multiplication and invert the divisor, that is

`(x)/(x+1)` ×
`(1)/(x^3)`

Cancelling x and x³ by x gives

`(1)/(x^2(x+1))`
