Q. Perform the operation and express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form.\newline115x2+5x3 \frac{1}{15 x^{2}}+\frac{5 x}{3} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Common Denominator: Identify a common denominator for the two fractions. The denominators are 15x215x^2 and 33. The least common multiple of these two denominators is 15x215x^2, which will be our common denominator.
  2. Rewrite with Common Denominator: Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator.\newlineThe first fraction 115x2\frac{1}{15x^{2}} already has the common denominator, so it remains unchanged.\newlineThe second fraction 5x3\frac{5x}{3} needs to be multiplied by 5x5x\frac{5x}{5x} to have the common denominator of 15x215x^2.\newline5x3×5x5x=25x215x2\frac{5x}{3} \times \frac{5x}{5x} = \frac{25x^2}{15x^2}
  3. Add Fractions: Add the two fractions together.\newlineNow that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add the numerators together.\newline(115x2)+(25x215x2)=(1+25x215x2)(\frac{1}{15x^{2}}) + (\frac{25x^2}{15x^2}) = (\frac{1 + 25x^2}{15x^2})
  4. Simplify Numerator: Simplify the numerator if possible.\newlineIn this case, the numerator 1+25x21 + 25x^2 cannot be simplified further.\newlineSo the final answer is (1+25x2)/(15x2)(1 + 25x^2)/(15x^2).
