Question

Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Identify Terms: Identify the terms in the expression that need to be combined into a single fraction. The expression is v + w^2/5. To combine these into a single fraction, we need to have a common denominator.Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator for the terms. Since v is not a fraction, we can think of it as v/1. The common denominator for 1 and 5 is 5.Convert to Fraction: Convert v to a fraction with the common denominator. To convert v to a fraction with a denominator of 5, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 5: (v * 5)/(1 * 5) = 5v/5.Rewrite Expression: Rewrite the expression with the common denominator. Now we have 5v/5 + w^2/5.Combine Fractions: Combine the fractions over the common denominator. Since both fractions now have the same denominator, we can combine the numerators: (5v + w^2)/5.Check for Simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further. The fraction (5v + w^2)/5 is already in simplest form because the numerator and the denominator do not have any common factors other than 1.
