Simplify each complex fraction. 6x225+x1x5\(\frac{\frac{6}{x^2 - 25}\) + x}{\(\frac{1}{x - 5}\)}

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the complex fraction: the numerator is \( \frac{6}{x^{2} - 25} + x \) and the denominator is \( \frac{1}{x - 5} \).
Factor the quadratic expression in the denominator of the numerator: \( x^{2} - 25 \) is a difference of squares, so \( x^{2} - 25 = (x - 5)(x + 5) \). Rewrite the numerator as \( \frac{6}{(x - 5)(x + 5)} + x \).
To combine the terms in the numerator, express \( x \) as a fraction with denominator \( (x - 5)(x + 5) \), so rewrite \( x = \frac{x (x - 5)(x + 5)}{(x - 5)(x + 5)} \).
Add the two fractions in the numerator: \( \frac{6}{(x - 5)(x + 5)} + \frac{x (x - 5)(x + 5)}{(x - 5)(x + 5)} = \frac{6 + x (x - 5)(x + 5)}{(x - 5)(x + 5)} \).
Rewrite the entire complex fraction as a division: \( \frac{\frac{6 + x (x - 5)(x + 5)}{(x - 5)(x + 5)}}{\frac{1}{x - 5}} = \frac{6 + x (x - 5)(x + 5)}{(x - 5)(x + 5)} \times \frac{x - 5}{1} \). Then simplify by canceling common factors and simplifying the numerator expression.

Factoring Quadratic Expressions

Factoring involves rewriting a quadratic expression as a product of simpler binomials. For example, x^2 - 25 is a difference of squares and factors into (x - 5)(x + 5), which helps simplify expressions and cancel common factors.
