Q. 8. Express x23x1+y2 as a fraction in its simplest form.CHAPTER 6143
Combine terms over common denominator: Combine the terms in the numerator over a common denominator, which is 3xy. (3x1+y2)=3xyy+6x
Divide combined fraction by 2/x: Now, divide the combined fraction by 2/x. 3xyy+6x/x2=3xyy+6x×2x
Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and the denominators. (y+6x)/(3xy)×x/2=(x(y+6x))/(6xy)
Simplify expression by canceling: Simplify the expression by canceling out the common x in the numerator and denominator.6xyx(y+6x)=6yy+6x
Check for further simplification: Check if the expression can be simplified further. Since there are no common factors between the numerator and the denominator, the expression is in its simplest form.
