How do you solve this? (6/xy-2/y^2)/(1/x+4/y)Perform the indicated operation and express your answer in the simplest form.

We have to solve
(6/xy-2/y^2)/(1/x+4/y)


Now
(6/xy-2/y^2)/(1/x+4/y)


making the denominator of all the
terms in the numerator the same


=> (6*y/xy^2 -
2x/xy^2)/ (1/x + 4/y)


do the same for the terms in the
denominator


=> [(6y - 2x)/xy^2] / (y/xy +
4x/xy)


=> [(6y - 2x)/xy^2] /
[(y+4x)/xy]


=> [(6y - 2x)*xy] /
xy^2*(y+4x)


cancelling the common
terms


=>[(6y - 2x)] /
y*(y+4x)


=> (6y-2x) /
y*(y+4x)


=> 2(3y - x) / y
(y+4x)


The required form is : [2*(3y - x)] /
[y*(y+4x)]

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
