simplify (x^3-5x^2)/x

Solution

simplify

\frac{x ^{3} - 5 x ^{2}}{x}

Solution

x (x - 5)

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{3} - 5 x ^{2}}{x}

Factor

x^{3} - 5 x^{2} : x^{2} (x - 5)

= \frac{x ^{2} ( x - 5 )}{x}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} \cdot a^{c}

x^{2} = xx

= \frac{xx ( x - 5 )}{x}

Cancel the common factor:

x

= x (x - 5)
