Solution

To simplify: The given rational expression by perform the indicated operation..

The simplified form is 17x+1512x+3x4.

Given information:

Rational expressions: xx2x12+512x48.

Concept used:

If denominators are different, find a common denominator. Rewrite the each rational expression and subtract or add the numerators and write the common denominator.

To find the LCD, factor each denominator and each factor to the highest power it occurs.

Explanation:

Find the LCD (Least Common Denominator).

LCD of x2x12 & 12x48 is 12x+3x4 .

  xx2x12+512x48=xx+3x4+512x4                                              Factor denominator=xx+3x41212+512x4x+3x+3                           LCD is 12x+3x4=12x12x+3x4+5x+312x+3x4                                                   =12x12x+3x4+5x+1512x+3x4=12x+5x+1512x+3x4                                                             Add the numerators=17x+1512x+3x4 Therefore, the simplified form is 17x+1512x+3x4.
