Answer:
47/10 = 4 7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
3 2/5 + 1 3/10
1. Write mixed numbers as improper fractions:
17/5 + 13/10
2. Write equivalent fractions with a common denominator:
34/10 + 13/10
3. Add the numerators over the common denominator.
47/10
4. Simplify.
4 7/10
You need LCD or the least common denominator. For 4 over 8 and 2 over 8 have the same denominators except for 2 over 4. You need to ask yourself what times 4 equals to 8? 4 times 2 equals to 8, so multiply 4x2 for the denominator and for the numerator multiply 2x2. Whatever you do to the denominator you have to do the same thing to the numerator. You multiplied 4x2 for the denominator and 2x2 for the numerator and now your fraction is 4 over 8. Now add 4 over 8+ 4 over 8 which is 8 over 8 or 1. Now add 1+ 2 over 8 which is 1 2/8. If you simplify 1 2/8 it will become 1 1/4.
Hope that helped:D

Explanation:
In the second step, I multiplied top and bottom by 1/x. This divides every term by x. Doing this leaves us with various inner fractions that have the variable in the denominator. Those inner fractions approach 0 as x approaches infinity.
I'm using the rule that

where k is some positive real number constant.
Using that rule will simplify the expression greatly to leave us with -2/1 or simply -2 as the answer.
In a sense, the leading terms of the numerator and denominator are -2x and x respectively. They are the largest terms for each, so to speak. As x gets larger, the influence that -2x and x have will greatly diminish the influence of the other terms.
This effectively means,

I recommend making a table of values to see what's going on. Or you can graph the given function to see that it slowly approaches y = -2. Keep in mind that it won't actually reach y = -2 itself.
