Question

Simplify. x/4x+x^2

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{x}{4x} + x^{2} = \dfrac{1}{4} + x^{2} = \dfrac{1+4x^{2}}{4}\)

Of course, if you did not write the problem statement correctly, that would create a different result. Give it a good, close look and remember your Order of Operations.

Answer 2

is that
\(
\cfrac{x}{4x+x^2}
\) ? can't really tell :|

Answer 3

I am having a lot of trouble with algebra this year.

Answer 4

Would that be the answer? Because thats not on the multiple choice.

Answer 5

I would suggest you focus on fundamentals and you will have less trouble.

Order of Operations - You MUST see that and why these are different:

1) 4/2 + 2
2) 4/(2+2)

Answer 6

1/4
1/x+4
1/4 + 1/x
1/x

Answer 7

@tkhunny

Answer 8

?? What are you doing? None of that makes any sense at the moment.

Answer 9

what are you talking about? those are the multiple choice answers

Answer 10

I see. You didn't say that.

It appears, then, that you have not written the problem statement correctly. Please do so. Use parentheses and think about the Order of Operations.
