| ① | Add $6x+5$ and $ \dfrac{1}{x} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 6x^2+5x+1 } }{ x }$. Step 1: Write $ 6x+5 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ② | Multiply $2x^2+3$ by $ \dfrac{6x^2+5x+1}{x} $ to get $ \dfrac{12x^4+10x^3+20x^2+15x+3}{x} $. Step 1: Write $ 2x^2+3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 2x^2+3 \cdot \frac{6x^2+5x+1}{x} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{2x^2+3}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{6x^2+5x+1}{x} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ \left( 2x^2+3 \right) \cdot \left( 6x^2+5x+1 \right) }{ 1 \cdot x } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 12x^4+10x^3+2x^2+18x^2+15x+3 }{ x } = \frac{12x^4+10x^3+20x^2+15x+3}{x} \end{aligned} $$ |
