So the theme in this problem is that you know how to do algebra when you simplify this quotient.
00:07
So we're looking at 3x squared plus x cubed all over x.
00:17
Now, when i teach this, a lot of times i have students who know, you know, in order to combine fractions, you need to have the same denominator, and then the denominator stays the same.
00:28
But for whatever reason, they struggle with splitting things up like this.
00:33
But the reason why that's useful then is because you can divide out in x.
00:37
So you're looking at 3x.
00:39
And you can change, i guess the same idea here, divide out in x, but you left with x squared...
