Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. pq4p2q5+pq5
Combine terms: Combine the terms over a common denominator.Since both terms have the same denominator, we can combine them directly.4p2q5/pq+5/pq= (4p2q5+5)/pq
Simplify numerator: Simplify the numerator.We can't simplify the numerator further because 4p2q5 and 5 do not have common factors.So the expression remains (4p2q5+5)/pq.
Simplify denominator: Simplify the denominator.We notice that pq is already in its simplest form and cannot be simplified further.So the final expression is (4p2q5+5)/pq.
