Q. Perform the operation and express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form.\newline52x3+35 \frac{5}{2 x^{3}}+\frac{3}{5} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Find Common Denominator: To add the fractions (5)/(2x3)(5)/(2x^{3}) and (3)/(5)(3)/(5), we need to find a common denominator. The denominators are currently 2x32x^3 and 55. The least common denominator (LCD) is the product of the distinct prime factors of each denominator, which in this case is 2x3×52x^3 \times 5.
  2. Express Fractions: Now we need to express each fraction with the common denominator of 10x310x^3. To do this, we multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the factor needed to reach the common denominator. For the first fraction, 52x3\frac{5}{2x^{3}}, we multiply by 55\frac{5}{5} to get 2510x3\frac{25}{10x^{3}}. For the second fraction, 35\frac{3}{5}, we multiply by 2x32x3\frac{2x^3}{2x^3} to get 6x310x3\frac{6x^3}{10x^{3}}.
  3. Add Fractions: Next, we add the two fractions with the common denominator: (2510x3)+(6x310x3)(\frac{25}{10x^{3}}) + (\frac{6x^3}{10x^{3}}). This gives us a single fraction: (25+6x310x3)(\frac{25 + 6x^3}{10x^{3}}).
  4. Simplify Final Answer: The fraction (25+6x3)/(10x3)(25 + 6x^3)/(10x^{3}) is already in simplest form because the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 11. Therefore, this is our final answer.
