Homework Statement
[itex]\frac{\frac{2}{3}x(x^{2}+4)^{1/2}(x^{2}-9)^{-2/3}-x(x^{2}-9)^{1/3}(x^{2}+4)^{-1/2}}{x^{2}+4}[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[itex]\frac{x(x^{2}+4)^{-1/2}(x^{2}-9)^{-2/3}(\frac{2}{3}(x^{2}+4)-(x-9))}{x^{2}+4}[/itex]
Then:
[itex]\frac{x(\frac{2}{3}(x^{2}+4)-(x-9))}{(x^{2}+4)^{3/2}(x^{2}-9)^{2/3}}[/itex]
What should I do next? I multiply the numerator but this, it seems leads to a dead-end. Or is there a mistake involved in the aforementioned steps?
P. S. The book gives the answer
[itex]\frac{-x^{3}+35x}{3(x^{2}+4)^{3/2}(x^{2}-9)^{2/3}}[/itex]
P. S. S. Can someone tell me how to write tex instead of itex automatically?
