To determine

To choose the correct answer.

Answer to Problem 2STP

I) $\frac{b^2+1}{2b}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

What is the sum $\frac{1}{2b}+\frac{b}{2}$ ?

F) $\frac{b+1}{2b+2}$

G) $2b$

H) $\frac{1}{4}$

I) $\frac{b^2+1}{2b}$

The sum is:

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{2b}+\frac{b}{2}\\ =\frac{b^2+1}{2b}\end{array}$

Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{b^2+1}{2b}$ .
