(81m^3-25m)/(9m+5)

First you'd want to simply the numerator, 

Factor m out of \(81m^3−25m. \)

Which results in \(\frac{m(81m^2−25)}{9m+5 }\)

Given that the Co-Efficent is 81, the pronumeral (m) is sqaured and 25 is also a Sqaure Number, you may Square Root all of the numerator to produce this: \(\frac{m((9m)^2−5^2)}{9m+5}\)

Factor using the difference of squares. 

Producing: \(\frac{m(9m+5)(9m−5)}{9m+5 }\)

 

Reduce the expression by cancelling the common factors. (See the denominator, [9m+5] and the numerator [m(9m+5)]

\(m(9m−5) \)

 

Apply the distributive property. 

\(m(9m)+m(−5)\)

 

Simplify

\(9m^2+(−5m)\)

 

A Note of Caution here, Make sure you understand that a Positive and a Negative form a NEGATIVE:

\(9m^2−\Leftarrow5m\)

Ignore the Arrow, it is just a means of Bolding or Stating something worth noting.

 

 

\(9m^2−5m\)

is your Answer.

Simplify the following:

(81 m^3-25 m)/(9 m+5)

Factor m out of 81 m^3-25 m:

m (81 m^2-25)/(9 m+5)

81 m^2-25 = (9 m)^2-5^2:

(m (9 m)^2-5^2)/(9 m+5)

Factor the difference of two squares. (9 m)^2-5^2 = (9 m-5) (9 m+5):

(m (9 m-5) (9 m+5))/(9 m+5)

Combine powers. (m (9 m-5) (9 m+5))/(9 m+5) = m (9 m-5) (9 m+5)^(1-1):

m (9 m+5)^1-1 (9 m-5)

1-1 = 0:

m (9 m-5) (9 m+5)^0

(9 m+5)^0 = 1:

Answer: |m(9m - 5)
