I need help writing numerator in terms of denominator

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\Huge \frac{2x^2+x}{(x^2+1)(x+1)}\] I want to write numerator in terms of denominator,i.e those 2 terms must be present in numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^2 + x = (2x + 1) (x + 0) like that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's called factorization, so you want to factorize the numerator

OpenStudy (dls):

noooooo..like suppose we have \[\Huge \frac{x^2}{(x^2+1)(x^2+4)}\] I would write it as.. \[\Huge \frac{1}{3}(\frac{4(x^2+1)-(x^2+4)}{(x^2+1)(x^2+4)})\] smt like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about \[ \frac{2x(x+1)}{(x^2+1)(x+1)} \]?

OpenStudy (dls):

i think u didn't get my question.. i mean to say the denominator terms should be present in numerator

OpenStudy (dls):

see the example i posted once again!

OpenStudy (dls):

"Both" the denominator terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ 2x^2+x=2x^2+2+x+1-3 = 2(x^2+1)+(x+1)-3 \]
