| ① | Multiply $ \dfrac{u}{7} $ by $ u $ to get $ \dfrac{ u^2 }{ 7 } $. Step 1: Write $ u $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{u}{7} \cdot u & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{u}{7} \cdot \frac{u}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ u \cdot u }{ 7 \cdot 1 } \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ u^2 }{ 7 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Multiply $ \dfrac{u^2}{7} $ by $ 2 $ to get $ \dfrac{ 2u^2 }{ 7 } $. Step 1: Write $ 2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{u^2}{7} \cdot 2 & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{u^2}{7} \cdot \frac{2}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ u^2 \cdot 2 }{ 7 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 2u^2 }{ 7 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ③ | Add $ \dfrac{2u^2}{7} $ and $ 3u $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 2u^2+21u } }{ 7 }$. Step 1: Write $ 3u $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
