$$\frac{ 3(- { 1 }^{ 2 } )-4(-1)-1 }{ 2( { -1 }^{ 2 } )+5(-1)-3 }$$

Evaluate

$$0$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 1 to the power of 2 and get 1.

$$\frac{3\left(-1\right)-4\left(-1\right)-1}{2\left(-1\right)^{2}+5\left(-1\right)-3}$$

Multiply 3 and -1 to get -3.

$$\frac{-3-4\left(-1\right)-1}{2\left(-1\right)^{2}+5\left(-1\right)-3}$$

Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.

$$\frac{-3-\left(-4\right)-1}{2\left(-1\right)^{2}+5\left(-1\right)-3}$$

The opposite of -4 is 4.

$$\frac{-3+4-1}{2\left(-1\right)^{2}+5\left(-1\right)-3}$$

Add -3 and 4 to get 1.

$$\frac{1-1}{2\left(-1\right)^{2}+5\left(-1\right)-3}$$

Subtract 1 from 1 to get 0.

$$\frac{0}{2\left(-1\right)^{2}+5\left(-1\right)-3}$$

Calculate -1 to the power of 2 and get 1.

$$\frac{0}{2\times 1+5\left(-1\right)-3}$$

Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.

$$\frac{0}{2+5\left(-1\right)-3}$$

Multiply 5 and -1 to get -5.

$$\frac{0}{2-5-3}$$

Subtract 5 from 2 to get -3.

$$\frac{0}{-3-3}$$

Subtract 3 from -3 to get -6.

$$\frac{0}{-6}$$

Zero divided by any non-zero number gives zero.

$$0$$
