Answer:
- 3x² is a term in the numerator
- x + 1 is a common factor
- The denominator has 3 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
You can identify terms and count them before you start factoring. Doing so will identify 3x² as a term in the numerator, and will show you there are 3 terms in the denominator.
When you factor the expression, you get ...
This reveals a common factor of x+1.
So, the above three observations are true of this rational expression.
Micah was asked to add the following expressions:
First, he combined like terms in the numerator and kept the common denominator
First step is correct. He added the like terms in the numerator, because the denominators are same.
So he got ,
In the next step, he cannot cancel out x^2 from the top and bottom . Because x-4 and 3x+2 are added with x^2
If we have x^2 is multiplied with other terms at the top and bottom , then we can cancel out x^2.
So Micah added the expression incorrectly. Final answer is not correct.
