Hi student, let me help you out!

<h3>Part 1 - Adding fractions with unlike denominators</h3>

If two fractions have unlike denominators, we first need to give both of them the same denominator, since we know how to add fractions with the same denominators.

///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\\////\\\///\\\///\\\///\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\//

Here we have the following fractions: \mathrm{\cfrac{5}{8}+\cfrac{1}{2}}.

First we should find the l.c.m. (least common multiple) of "8" and "2".

The l.c.m. of "8" and "2" is 8. Let's stick it in: \mathrm{\cfrac{5}{8}+\cfrac{1}{8}}.

Now let us consider the following: <em>What did we multiply 2 by to get a result of 8?</em>

Since we multiplied 2 by 4 to obtain 8, we also multiply 1 by 4: 4.

As a result, we obtain \mathrm{\cfrac{5}{8}+\cfrac{4}{8}}.

Now all we have to do is add the numerators.

<u>This is what we obtain as a result: </u> \mathrm{\cfrac{5+4}{8}=\cfrac{9}{8}}.

Notice that the answer is written as an improper fraction, a fraction such that the numerator is larger than the denominator.

Hope this helped you out, ask in comments if any queries arise.

Best Regards!

For f(x) = 4x +1 and g(x) = x2 - 5, find (g/f) (x).
Softa [21]

Answer:

\left(g/f\right)\left(x\right)=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}-\frac{79}{16\left(4x+1\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x+1

g\left(x\right)=x^2\:-\:5

As

(g/f)(x) = g(x) / f(x)

            =\:\frac{x^2\:-\:5}{4x+1}\:\:\:\:\:\:

            =\frac{x}{4}+\frac{-\frac{x}{4}-5}{4x+1}

              =\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}+\frac{-\frac{79}{16}}{4x+1}

               =\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}-\frac{79}{16\left(4x+1\right)}

Therefore,

\left(g/f\right)\left(x\right)=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}-\frac{79}{16\left(4x+1\right)}
