<p>I'm doing my summer packet for AP Calc and I don't know what to do for this problem. </p>

<p>Simplify
x(1-2x)^(-3/2) + (1-2x)^(-1/2)</p>

<p>^ means is raised to a power (i.e. exponent)</p>

<p>i would love any help/solution</p>

<p>Highlight for solution: -(x-1)/((1-2x)^(3/2))</p>

<p>Be happy. :)</p>

<p>I don't know how much it should be simplified, but first hint: factor...</p>

<p>Woo I think this is correct I am a month removed</p>

<p>x(1-2x)^(-3/2) + (1-2x)^(-1/2)</p>

<p>x(1/(1-2x)^(3/2))+(1/(1-2x)^(1/2))</p>

<p>x(1/(1-2x)^(3/2))+(1/(1-2x)^(1/2))*((1-2x)/(1-2x))</p>

<p>(x/(1-2x)^(3/2))+((1-2x)/(1-2x)^(3/2))</p>

<p>(1-x)/(1-2x)^(3/2)</p>

<p>Oops didn't notice the second post. Oh well.</p>
