Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 2y4+7
Find Common Denominator: We have the expression y4/2+7. To combine these into a single fraction, we need to have a common denominator. Since 7 can be written as 7/1, we can find a common denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator of 7 by 2.
Rewrite 7 with Common Denominator: Now we rewrite 7 with the common denominator of 2: 7×(22)=214.
Combine Fractions: Next, we combine the two fractions with the common denominator: 2y4+214.
Add Numerators: We add the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (y4+14)/2.
Simplify Expression: The expression (y4+14)/2 is already in its simplest form because the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.
