We have the rational expression

; to simplify it, we are going to try to find a common factor in the numerator, and, if we are luckily, that common factor will get rid of the denominator

.
Notice that in the denominator all the numbers are divisible by two, so 2 is part of our common factor; also, all the terms have the variable

, and the least exponent of that variable is 1, so

will be the other part of our common factor. Lets put the two parts of our common factor together to get

.
Now that we have our common factor, we can rewrite our numerator as follows:

We are luckily, we have

in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:


We can conclude that the simplified version of our rational function is

.
Answer:
Width just means, diameter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The area of the black square is equal to the sum of the areas of the gray squares.
Answer:
Surface area = 6l^2
Volume = l^3
If total surface area increased by 2, then the length increased by 
Volume then is increased by (
l)^3 = 2
l^3
1 :2 
Which is not an option in the question so this question clearly has a problem.
First of all It's supposed to be "then" not "than," so I'm not sure who teaches math without even knowing this basic grammar.
Second of all, if the answer is 8:1 the question should be "If <u>each sides</u> of a cube is doubled" not "the lateral surface area." Come to think of it what even is lateral surface area of a cube if all sides of the cube is supposed to be same.
Or, if the answer is 2:1 then, it should be If height lateral surface area of a cube is doubled <u>by doubling the height and without changing the length and width</u>" But, then the the shape would no longer be a cube.
Who even wrote this garbage question what.
