Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. dc3d−d2
Identify LCM of denominators: Identify the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators d and d. Since both denominators are the same, the LCM is d.
Combine numerators: Since the denominators are already the same, we can combine the numerators. This gives us (c3d−2)/d.
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression by combining like terms in the numerator. Since there are no like terms, the expression remains (c3d−2)/d.
Check for further simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further. In this case, the numerator and the denominator do not have any common factors other than 1, so the fraction is already in its simplest form.
