Question

Find the value of
`(a^(2) )/(a^(4)+a^(2)+1)` if
`(a)/(a^(2)+a+1)` =
`(1)/(6)`. Please show all work.

Answer 1

1/36

Explanation:

notice the first equation is the second equation squared.

For instance, look at the numerator: a squared is a^2

Look at the denominator: a^2 squared is a^4 and so on.

So if the second equation is 1/6, then you need to square it to have it equal the second equation: (1/6)^2 = 1/36

Answer 2

1/a^2+a+1 put in fraction form
