Question

Simplify the following expression x/4+1/8/x^2/4

Answer 1

(2x + 1) • (4x2 - 2x + 1) ———————————————————————— 32x2

Answer 2

The expression that is obtained on simplifying the given expression is:

`(2x+1)/(2x^2)`

Explanation:

We are given a expression in terms of variable x as follows:

`=((x)/(4)+(1)/(8))/((x^2)/(4))`

Now we have to simplify this expression.

This expression could also be written as:

`=((2x+1)/(8))/((x^2)/(4))`

which is further written as:

`=((2x+1)* 4)/(x^2* 8)\\\\\\=(2x+1)/(2x^2)`

Hence, the simplified expression is:

`(2x+1)/(2x^2)`
