Acid or subtract. 6rsr2s2+18rr2s2\frac { 6 r s } { r ^ { 2 } s ^ { 2 } } + \frac { 18 r } { r ^ { 2 } s ^ { 2 } }

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

To add the following rational expression, we must make sure the denominators are the same.

6rsr2s2+18rr2s2\dfrac{6rs}{r^2s^2}+ \dfrac{18r}{r^2s^2}

Add the numerators, put that result over the denominator.

6rs+18rr2s2\dfrac{6rs+18r}{r^2s^2}

Simplify the fraction by taking 6r6r as a common factor

6r(s+3)r2s2\dfrac{6r(s+3)}{r^2s^2}

Remove rr by using quotient rule which state aman=amn\color{#4257b2}\dfrac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}

 6rsr2s2+18rr2s2=6(s+3)rs2\therefore\ \dfrac{6rs}{r^2s^2}+ \dfrac{18r}{r^2s^2}=\dfrac{6(s+3)}{rs^2}
