In the following exercises, perform the indicated operations

2xx2+10x+24+3xx2+8x+16

Short Answer

Expert verified

Simplified expression is 5x2+26x(x+4)2(x+6)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

Expression:

2xx2+10x+24+3xx2+8x+16
02

Step 2. Find LCD    

Denominator of first fraction isx2+10x+24

Factorize this denominator

x2+6x+4x+24=x(x+6)+4(x+6)=(x+6)(x+4)

Denominator of the second fraction isx2+8x+16

Factorize this denominator

x2+2.4.x+42=(x+4)2

here x+4is common between both denominator

So the LCD is(x+4)2(x+6)

03

Step 3. Rewrite each rational expression as  an equivalent rational expression with the LCD  

2x(x+4)(x+4)2(x+6)+3x(x+6)(x+4)2(x+6)

04

Step 4.Simplify the numerators 

2x2+8x(x+4)2(x+6)+3x2+18x(x+4)2(x+6)

05

Step 5. Add numerators of the fractions    

2x2+8x+3x2+18x(x+4)2(x+6)

06

Step 6. Simplify numerator  

5x2+26x(x+4)2(x+6)
