Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the two rational expressions to be added: 5x−3x2+1 and 2xx2+12.
Determine the least common denominator (LCD) for the two fractions. Since the denominators are x^2+1 and (x^2+1)^2, the LCD is (x^2+1)^2.
Rewrite the first fraction so that it has the LCD as its denominator by multiplying both its numerator and denominator by (x^2+1). This gives: (5x−3)(x^2+1)x2+12.
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, combine the numerators over the common denominator: (5x−3)(x^2+1) + 2xx2+12.
Expand the numerator by distributing and then combine like terms if possible. The expression is now ready for any further simplification or factoring.

Adding Rational Expressions

Adding rational expressions involves combining fractions with algebraic expressions in the numerator and denominator. When denominators are the same or related, you can add the numerators directly or after adjusting to a common denominator.
