Question

[1/(x+2)]+[1/(x-2)]

Answer 1

\[\left( \frac{ x-2 }{ x-2 } \right)\left( \frac{ 1 }{ x+2 } \right)+\left( \frac{ 1 }{ x-2 } \right)\left( \frac{ x+2 }{ x+2 } \right)\]

Answer 2

would the answer be 1?

Answer 3

\[\frac{ \left( x-2 \right)+(x+2) }{ (x-2)(x+2) }\]

Answer 4

oops forgot about the + sign so is that the simplest form

Answer 5

one more step lol

Answer 6

the answer needs to be kept in factored form... is that not what that is?

Answer 7

\[\frac{ 2x }{ (x-2)(x+2) }\]

Answer 8

bottom is still factored

Answer 9

you distributed the + correct?

Answer 10
