Q. Divide. Write your answer in simplest form.v230v−12÷v26
Rewrite Division as Multiplication: Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal.The expression 30v−v212÷v26 can be rewritten as (30v−12)/v2×6v2.
Simplify by Multiplying: Simplify the expression by multiplying the numerators and denominators.When we multiply (30v−12)/v2×v2/6, the v2 terms cancel out because they are in both the numerator and the denominator.This simplifies to (30v−12)/6.
Divide Numerator by Denominator: Divide each term in the numerator by the denominator. Divide 30v by 6 to get 5v and −12 by 6 to get −2. The simplified expression is 5v−2.
Check for Common Factors: Check for any common factors that can be further simplified. There are no common factors between 5v and −2, so the expression is already in its simplest form.
