Question

Enter the values for a and b that complete the sum: A- b-

Answer 1

3/x + 5/x^2 = 3x+5/x^2
a = 3
b = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

$a=3$ and $b=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $\frac{3}{x}+\frac{5}{x^2}=\frac{ax+b}{x^2}$. We are asked to find the value of 'a' and 'b'.

Let us make a common denominator:

$\frac{3*x}{x*x}+\frac{5}{x^2}=\frac{ax+b}{x^2}$

$\frac{3x}{x^2}+\frac{5}{x^2}=\frac{ax+b}{x^2}$

Add numerators:

$\frac{3x+5}{x^2}=\frac{ax+b}{x^2}$

Therefore, $a=3$ and $b=5$ for the given equation.
