Rewrite as division problem: Rewrite the complex fraction as a division problem.(23x)/(x3+2) can be rewritten as (23x)⋅(x3+21).
Simplify denominator: Simplify the expression in the denominator of the second fraction.To combine the terms in the denominator, find a common denominator, which is x.(x3+2)=x3+2x.
Rewrite with simplified denominator: Rewrite the original expression with the simplified denominator.Now the expression is (23x)×((x3+2x)1).
Multiply the fractions: Multiply the two fractions.To multiply the fractions, we take the numerator of the first fraction and multiply it by the reciprocal of the second fraction.(23x)×(3+2xx)=2×(3+2x)3x×x.
Simplify numerator: Simplify the multiplication in the numerator.Multiply 3x by x to get 3x2.2⋅(3+2x)3x2=6+4x3x2.
Check for further simplification: Check if the expression can be simplified further.The expression 6+4x3x2 cannot be simplified further because the numerator and denominator do not have common factors.
