(6x²-x-1)/(x-1) <br> How do I simplify this so it is not divided by anything?

a_sh-v [17]

Simplify:

The equation is already simplified =====> (6x² - x - 1)/(x - 1)

Solve:

Solution (6x² - x - 1)/(x - 1) =======> 6x + 5 + 4/x - 1

Steps:

Apply Long Division on:

(6x² - x - 1)/(x - 1)

Divide:

(6x² - x - 1)/(x - 1):

(6x² - x - 1)/(x - 1) = 6x + 5x - 1/x - 1

= 6x + 5x - 1/x - 1

Divide:

5x - 1/x - 1

= 5 + 4/x - 1

Answer ======> 6x + 5 + 4/x - 1

Hope that helps!!!!! : )

$1689 invested for 4 years at 3% compounded annually ?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

The amount gotten after $1689 invested for 4 years at 3% compounded annually is $1901

The amount of money gained after an investment is compounded is given by:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

Where P is principal, A is the final amount, r is the rate, n is the number of times compounded per period and t is the time

Given that P = $1689, t = 4, r = 3% = 0.03, n = 1, hence:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}\\\\A=1689(1+\frac{0.03}{1} )^{4*1}\\\\A=\$1901$

The amount gotten after $1689 invested for 4 years at 3% compounded annually is $1901
