All right, so we got this ugly polynomial with all these fractions and sure it's scaring a lot of people.
00:07
But let's break it up into its simplest parts and simplify this thing.
00:10
So the first thing i look at is that x to the fourth power there.
00:14
And i see another one over here.
00:18
So 1 -6x to the fourth minus one -half -x -the -fourth.
00:24
They're not even, we don't even have a common denominator.
00:26
So let's start there.
00:27
Six and two, the least common multiple is six.
00:29
So i'm going to do one -sixth x to the fourth minus three -sixth x to the fourth because, you know, one -half i can turn into three -sixth, multiply the numerator and the denominator by three.
00:47
All right.
00:47
Next, i see this one -seventh x squared and this negative three -seventh x squared.
00:54
Now, those do have a common denominator...
