Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.5q+25q2+2q
Identify Like Terms: Simplify the expression by combining like terms.First, we need to identify like terms and combine them if possible. In the expression 5q2+52qq+2, we have a term with q2, a term with q, and a constant term. Since there are no like terms to combine, we move to the next step.
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction5q2q. We can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by q, as long as q is not equal to zero. 5q2q=(52)(qq)=52
Rewrite Expression: Rewrite the expression with the simplified fraction.Now that we have simplified the fraction, we can rewrite the expression as:5q2+52+2
Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms.The expression now has a term with q2, a fraction, and two constant terms. We can combine the constant terms (2/5) and 2.2/5+2=2/5+10/5=12/5
Final Simplified Expression: Write the final simplified expression.The final simplified expression is:5q2+512
