Rewrite as reciprocal multiplication: Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of the second fraction.(at+t2)/(2b−ct)×(2bt−ct2)/(a2+2at+t2)
Factor numerator and denominator: Factor the numerator and denominator of the second fraction. (at+t2)/(2b−ct)×(2bt−ct2)/((a+t)2)
Identify common factors: Notice that (at+t2) is the same as t(a+t) and (a+t)2 is (a+t)(a+t).(2b−ct)t(a+t)⋅(a+t)(a+t)(2bt−ct2)
Cancel common factor: Cancel out the common factor of (a+t) in the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction.(2b−ct)t×(a+t)(2bt−ct2)
Expand remaining terms: Expand the remaining terms in the second fraction's numerator. 2b−ctt⋅a+t2bt−ct2
Multiply numerators and denominators: Now multiply the numerators and denominators. (2b−ct)×(a+t)t×(2bt−c×t2)
Distribute t in numerator: Distribute t in the numerator.(2b⋅t2−c⋅t3)/((2b−ct)⋅(a+t))
Distribute denominator: Distribute the denominator.(2b∗t2−c∗t3)/(2ab+2bt−act−c∗t2)
Combine like terms: Combine like terms in the denominator.(2b∗t2−c∗t3)/(2ab+2bt−act−c∗t2)Oops, there's a mistake here. The term −act should be −cat.
