| ① | Simplify $ \dfrac{4s^4-6s^3}{2s^3-3s^2} $ to $ 2s$. Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{2s^3-3s^2}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{4s^4-6s^3}{2s^3-3s^2} & =\frac{ 2s \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 2s^3-3s^2 \right) }}{ 1 \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 2s^3-3s^2 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{2s}{1} =2s \end{aligned} $$ |
