Answer 1

the aswer is

x^3-x^2
_______ =  x - 1 / x^2  (simplified by x^2)
x^4 ...?

Answer 2

Answer:

The simplest form is $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^4}=\frac{x-1}{x^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the fraction $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^4}$

we have to reduce the fraction to lowest terms.

Given fraction is

$\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^4}$

Take $x^2$ common from numerator as well as denominator, we get

$\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^4}=\frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^2(x^2)}$

Cancel $x^2$ from numerator as well as denominator, we get

$\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^4}=\frac{x-1}{x^2}$

which is the required simplest form.
