Q:

Find the sum: x-2/x^2+1 + x+3/x^2+1

Accepted Solution

A:
For this case we have the following expression: [tex]\frac {x-2} {x ^ 2 + 1} + \frac {x + 3} {x ^ 2 + 1}[/tex]We observe that both fractions have the same denominator. Therefore, we add the numerators. We have then: [tex]\frac {(x-2) + (x + 3)} {x ^ 2 + 1}[/tex]Then, rewriting the expression we have: [tex]\frac {2x + 1} {x ^ 2 + 1}[/tex]Answer: The equivalent expression is given by: [tex]\frac {2x + 1} {x ^ 2 + 1}[/tex]
