Question

Write the square of (2x+1/x)

Answer 1

Answer:

((2 x^2 + 1)^2)/(x^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(2 x + 1/x)^2

Hint: | Put the fractions in 2 x + 1/x over a common denominator.

Put each term in 2 x + 1/x over the common denominator x: 2 x + 1/x = (2 x^2)/x + 1/x:

((2 x^2)/x + 1/x)^2

Hint: | Combine (2 x^2)/x + 1/x into a single fraction.

(2 x^2)/x + 1/x = (2 x^2 + 1)/x:

((2 x^2 + 1)/x)^2

Hint: | Distribute exponents over quotients in ((2 x^2 + 1)/x)^2.

Multiply each exponent in (2 x^2 + 1)/x by 2:

Answer: ((2 x^2 + 1)^2)/(x^2)
