2nd line is already wrong... its x-2+1/x^2. Why did you try to factorise it?Looking at the picture, what did I do wrong? Everything seems fine to me but the answer isn't 1/2, it's 0. I got a feeling that the way I factorised the question was wrong but everything else seems fine, what did I do wrong?
I factorised it to get rid of the denominator, by taking out x^2 in the numerator, I can cancel it out with the denominator. How is 2nd line wrong?
how did you take x^2 as the numerator if its x^3-2x^2+1? x^3-2x^2+1 / x^2 = x-2+x^-2
See I didn't factorise the whole numerator, I factorised x^3 -2x^2, is that what I did wrong? Am I meant to factorise the whole numerator?
What year are you currently in? It's just simple fractions... x^3/ x^2 then 2x^2/ x^2 then 1/x^2.
I get what you're trying to say in the last thing you said but what I don't get is that the way I factorised half of the numerator, is that the right or I'm meant to factorise the whole numerator?
What isn't the 1 over x^2? Why is 1 over x?its a lot easier if you do it this way
yes, it's a typo.
it was a typo, i fixed it
It's not wrong, but i don't get why you would do it. It's just wasting an additional line of writing.
I just did it to get rid of the denominator, and it worked, but why wasn't the answer 0 at the end? I got 1/2?
You integrated x-1.... where did the 1/x^2 go?
that's a (-1/x) btw
Yeah i just realised lol
The x^2 got cancelled out
The answer is 1/2Looking at the picture, what did I do wrong? Everything seems fine to me but the answer isn't 1/2, it's 0. I got a feeling that the way I factorised the question was wrong but everything else seems fine, what did I do wrong?
