Question

Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Identify Given Expression: Identify the given expression and the common denominator needed to combine the terms into a single fraction. The given expression is c^4/3 + 6. To combine these terms into a single fraction, we need a common denominator. Since 6 is a whole number, we can express it as a fraction with the same denominator as the first term, which is 3. So, we rewrite 6 as 6/1 and then find a common denominator.Convert Whole Number to Fraction: Convert the whole number to a fraction with the common denominator. To convert 6 to a fraction with the denominator 3, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 3. This gives us 6 * 3 / 1 * 3, which simplifies to 18/3.Combine Fractions with Common Denominator: Combine the two fractions with the common denominator. Now we have c^4/3 + 18/3. Since they have the same denominator, we can combine the numerators and keep the common denominator. This gives us (c^4 + 18)/3.Check for Further Simplification: Check if the resulting fraction can be simplified further. The fraction (c^4 + 18)/3 cannot be simplified further because c^4 and 18 do not have any common factors other than 1, and 3 does not factor into 18 more than once. Therefore, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
