To make the rational expressions equivalent, the blank should be filled with \(-9x^4\). So, the equation becomes:
\[
\frac{-9}{2x} = \frac{-9x^4}{2x^5}
\]
Solución
We start with the given equality:
(-9)/(2x) = (□)/(2x⁵)
To find what should replace the square (□), we'll equate the two expressions.
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x⁵ to eliminate the denominators:
(-9)/(2x) × 2x⁵ = (□)/(2x⁵) × 2x⁵
This simplifies to:
-9x⁵/x = □
2. Simplify the expression on the left:
-9x⁵/x = -9x^(5-1) = -9x⁴
Thus, the numerator that makes the rational expressions equivalent is:
□ = -9x⁴
So the equivalent expression is:
(-9)/(2x) = (-9x⁴)/(2x⁵)

To make the rational expressions equivalent, you need to maintain the same value on both sides of the equation. If you multiply the numerator and denominator of the left-hand fraction by \(x^4\), you'll have: \[ \frac{-9 \cdot x^4}{2 x \cdot x^4} = \frac{-9 x^4}{2 x^5} \] So, the blank should be filled in with \(-9 x^4\). Thus, the equivalent expression is: \[ \frac{-9}{2 x} = \frac{-9 x^4}{2 x^5} \]
