Problema Solution

find a rational function, n(x) / d(x) to add to 2x + 1

Answer provided by our tutors

net n(x) be 5 and d(x) be 3x+1

5/(3x+1) + (2x+1)/1

common denominator is 3x+1. multiply the entire second fraction by this.  then add

(2x+1)(3x+1)/1(3x+1)

= (6x2+5x+1)/(3x+1)

so add the numerators of 5/(3x+1) + (6x2+5x+1)/(3x+1)

= (5+6x2+5x+1)/(3x+1)

= (6x2+5x+6)/(3x+1)
