Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. \newline3s5+5\frac{3}{s^5} + 5
  1. Identify Given Expression: Identify the given expression and the goal.\newlineWe have the expression 3s5+5\frac{3}{s^5} + 5. We want to combine these terms into a single fraction in simplest form.
  2. Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator for the terms.\newlineSince 55 can be written as 51\frac{5}{1}, we can rewrite the expression with a common denominator of s5s^5. To do this, we multiply 51\frac{5}{1} by s5s5\frac{s^5}{s^5}.\newline3s5+5s51s5\frac{3}{s^5} + \frac{5 \cdot s^5}{1 \cdot s^5}
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication for the second term.\newline3s5+5s5s5\frac{3}{s^5} + \frac{5s^5}{s^5}
  4. Combine Over Common Denominator: Combine the terms over the common denominator. (3+5s5)/s5(3 + 5s^5)/s^5
  5. Check for Further Simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further. The numerator 3+5s53 + 5s^5 and the denominator s5s^5 do not have any common factors other than 11, so the fraction is already in simplest form.
