Question

s/s^2+6s+9
+
5/s^2+4s+3

solve it

Answer 1

you only "solve" equations (which have an equal sign in them)
do you mean add and simplify?

Answer 2

yes, sorry lol

Answer 3

you have two fractions. to add fractions you need a common denominator.
to find the simplest common denominator I would first try to factor
both denominators.

For example, can you factor s^2+6s+9 ?

Answer 4

im horrible at algebra but i can try

Answer 5

6s^3+9?

Answer 6

when you see something like
s^2+6s+9
you should think: can I write this as
(s+a)(s+b)
?
where a and b are numbers.

Answer 7

one strategy to factor is to first look at the last number, the +9
the + means both factors (i.e. the a and b in (s+a)(s+b) are the same sign)
for the 9, list all ways to multiply 2 numbers to get 9:
1,9
3,3
are the only choices.

Answer 8

next, look at the middle number, the +6 from
s^2+6s+9

the + sign in front of the 6 means the biggest factor of a and b is positive.
from the first rule (up above) we know both are the same sign. so if one is positive and both have the same sign , both are positive.

now go to our list
1,9
3,3
assign both a positive sign and add
1+9= 10
3+3= 6

if any pair matches the +6 from the middle term, those are the factors.

Answer 9

can you factor s^2+6s+9 ?

Answer 10

too confusing ?

Answer 11

kinda
