@RH we can write \[x ^{-1} = \frac{ 1 }{ x }\] use this concept and solve the given expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@niksva 1/2c x(times) d + 1/2d x c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the correct expression would be \[\frac{ 2d }{ c } +\frac{ 2c }{ d }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@niksva Oh ok :( do I need to simplify it more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the LCM in third step and then take 2 out in fourth step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(d/c + c/d) @niksva

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah now take the LCM for example = if u want to add \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } + \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\] LCM of 2 and 3 is 6 therefore, \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } +\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 3+2 }{ 6 }\] = \[\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure how I would do that :( @niksva

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for 2(d/c + c/d) how would I do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2(\frac{ d }{ c }+ \frac{ c }{ d } ) = 2 (\frac{ d*d+c*c }{ cd }) = 2(\frac{ d^2+c^2 }{cd })\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no simplifying anymore, right? @niksva

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah

THANKS!
