Description

This example illustrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/4 - 1/5. The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 20, and then subtracting the fractions to get 1/20. We multiply each fraction by the appropriate factor to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (1 * 5/5) - (1 * 4/4) = 5/20 - 4/20. Then, we subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (5 - 4)/20 = 1/20.

This example demonstrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/x + 1/3. The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 3x, and then adding the fractions to get (x + 3)/3x. We multiply each fraction by the appropriate factor to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (1 * 3/3) + (1 * x/x) = 3/(3x) + x/(3x). Then, we add the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (3 + x)/(3x) = (x + 3)/(3x).

This example illustrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/x - 1/2. The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 2x, and then subtracting the fractions to get (x - 2)/2x. We multiply each fraction by the appropriate factor to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (1 * 2/2) - (1 * x/x) = 2/(2x) - x/(2x). Then, we subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (2 - x)/(2x) = (x - 2)/(2x).

This example demonstrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/(2x) + 1/5. The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 10x, and then adding the fractions to get (2x + 5)/(10x). We multiply each fraction by the appropriate unit fraction to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (1 * 5)/(2x * 5) + (1 * 2x)/(5 * 2x) = 5/(10x) + 2x/(10x). Then, we add the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (5 + 2x)/(10x).

This example illustrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/(4x) - 1/7. The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 28x, and then subtracting the fractions to get (7 - 4x)/(28x), which simplifies to (4x - 7)/(28x). We multiply each fraction by the appropriate unit fraction to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (1 * 7)/(4x * 7) - (1 * 4x)/(7 * 4x) = 7/(28x) - 4x/(28x). Then, we subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (7 - 4x)/(28x).

This example demonstrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/(8x) + 1/8. The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 8x, and then adding the fractions to get (x + 1)/(8x). We multiply each fraction by the appropriate unit fraction to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (1 * x)/(8x * x) + (1 * x)/(8 * x) = 1/(8x) + x/(8x). Then, we add the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (1 + x)/(8x).

This example demonstrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/(9x) - 1/3. The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 9x, and then subtracting the fractions to get (1 - 3x)/(9x), which simplifies to (3x - 1)/(9x). We multiply each fraction by the appropriate unit fraction to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (1 * x)/(9x * x) - (3 * x)/(3 * x) = 1/(9x) - 3x/(9x). Then, we subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (1 - 3x)/(9x).

This example illustrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/(2x) + 1/(5x). The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 10x, and then adding the fractions to get 7/(10x). We multiply each fraction by the appropriate unit fraction to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (1 * 5)/(2x * 5) + (1 * 2)/(5x * 2) = 5/(10x) + 2/(10x). Then, we add the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (5 + 2)/(10x) = 7/(10x).

Description

Addition of rational expressions involves combining rational expressions to create a new rational expression, often requiring a common denominator. Examples include 1 / x + 1 / 2x = 3 / 2x and 1 / (x + 1) + 1 / (x - 1) = 2x / (x2 - 1). This term introduces the concept of combining rational expressions, which is fundamental to operations involving fractions with polynomial expressions.
