| ① | Add $x^2+6x$ and $ \dfrac{9}{x^3} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ x^5+6x^4+9 } }{ x^3 }$. Step 1: Write $ x^2+6x $ 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 $27$ by $ \dfrac{1}{x} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 27 }{ x } $. Step 1: Write $ 27 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 27 \cdot \frac{1}{x} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{27}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{1}{x} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 27 \cdot 1 }{ 1 \cdot x } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 27 }{ x } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ③ | Add $ \dfrac{x^5+6x^4+9}{x^3} $ and $ \dfrac{27}{x} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ x^6+6x^5+27x^3+9x } }{ x^4 }$. To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ④ | Add $ \dfrac{x^6+6x^5+27x^3+9x}{x^4} $ and $ 3 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ x^6+6x^5+3x^4+27x^3+9x } }{ x^4 }$. Step 1: Write $ 3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
