(3x^(-2)+(2x-1)^(-1))/(6/(x^(-1)+2)+3x^(-1))
First, apply the negative exponent rule a^(-m)=1/a^m .
=(3/x^2+ 1/(2x-1))/(6/(1/x+2) + 3/x)
Then, simplify the fraction 6/(1/x+2) . To do so, multiply it by x/x .
=(3/x^2+ 1/(2x-1))/(6/(1/x+2) *x/x+ 3/x)
=(3/x^2+ 1/(2x-1))/((6x)/(1+2x) + 3/x)
=(3/x^2+ 1/(2x-1))/((6x)/(2x+1) + 3/x)
Then, multiply the top and bottom of the complex fraction by the LCD of the four fractions present. The LCD is x^2(2x - 1)(2x + 1) .
=(3/x^2+ 1/(2x-1))/((6x)/(2x+1) + 3/x)*(x^2(2x-1)(2x+1))/(x^2(2x-1)(2x+1))
=(3(2x-1)(2x+1) + x^2(2x+1))/(6x(x^2)(2x-1)+3x(2x-1)(2x+1))
To simplify it further, factor out the GCF in the numerator. Also, factor out the GCF of the denominator.
= ((2x+1)(3(2x-1) + x^2))/(3x(2x-1)(2x^2+2x+1))
=((2x+1)(6x-3+x^2))/(3x(2x-1)(2x^2+2x+1))
= ((2x+1)(x^2+6x-3))/(3x(2x-1)(2x^2+2x+1))
Both numerator and denominator are now in factored form. Since there is no common factor between them, no factors are cancelled.
Therefore, the simplified form is
(3x^(-2)+(2x-1)^(-1))/(6/(x^(-1)+2)+3x^(-1))= ((2x+1)(x^2+6x-3))/(3x(2x-1)(2x^2+2x+1)) .
