What is the simplified form of 1 over x minus 2 over x squared minus x?

Solution:

The problem statement in words can be stated mathematically. 1 over x minus 2 over x squared minus x can be re-written as 1/x - 2/x² - x

Let us find the simplified form. The simplified form can be obtained by taking the LCM of denominators.

The LCM is x²

1/x - 2/x² - x

=x/x² - 2/x² - x/x²

= (x - 2 - x²)/x²

Thus, the simplified format of 1 over x minus 2 over x squared minus x is (x - 2 - x²)/x²

What is the simplified form of 1 over x minus 2 over x squared minus x ?

Summary:

The simplified form of 1 over x minus 2 over x squared minus x is (x - 2 - x²)/x²
