| ① | Multiply $4x^2+4x+6$ by $ \dfrac{4x^2+2x+6}{2x} $ to get $ \dfrac{16x^4+24x^3+56x^2+36x+36}{2x} $. Step 1: Write $ 4x^2+4x+6 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 4x^2+4x+6 \cdot \frac{4x^2+2x+6}{2x} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{4x^2+4x+6}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{4x^2+2x+6}{2x} = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ \left( 4x^2+4x+6 \right) \cdot \left( 4x^2+2x+6 \right) }{ 1 \cdot 2x } \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 16x^4+8x^3+24x^2+16x^3+8x^2+24x+24x^2+12x+36 }{ 2x } = \\[1ex] &= \frac{16x^4+24x^3+56x^2+36x+36}{2x} \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Add $ \dfrac{16x^4+24x^3+56x^2+36x+36}{2x} $ and $ 2x $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 16x^4+24x^3+60x^2+36x+36 } }{ 2x }$. Step 1: Write $ 2x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ③ | Subtract $ \dfrac{18}{x} $ from $ \dfrac{16x^4+24x^3+60x^2+36x+36}{2x} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 16x^5+24x^4+60x^3+36x^2 } }{ 2x^2 }$. To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
