Answer:


4x+6 is the numerator.

Explanation:

The given term is:


(x)/(x^(2)+3x+2 )+(3)/(x+1)

First of all, let us have a look at the denominator of the 1st term:


x^(2)+3x+2

Factorizing by writing
3x as
2x+x and then taking 'x' and '1' common respectively:


x^(2)+2x+x+2 \\\Rightarrow x(x+2)+1(x+2 )\\\Rightarrow (x+1)(x+2 )

Now, solving the given expression by taking LCM:


\frac{x}{(x+{2})(x+1)}+(3)/(x+1)\\\Rightarrow \frac{x+3(x+2)}{(x+{2})(x+1)}\\\Rightarrow \frac{x+3x+6}{(x+{2})(x+1)}\\\Rightarrow \frac{4x+6}{(x+{2})(x+1)}

Any expression
(p)/(q) has
p as its numerator and
q as its denominator.

So, the numerator of simplified term is:


4x+6
