Answer:
[tex]\frac{x^{2}+2x+5 }{4} +\frac{10}{x+4}[/tex]
OR
[tex]\frac{x^{2}+5 }{4}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{5}{x+2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
PART A:
At the bottom, the x can be interpreted as [tex]x^{1}[/tex] and when dividing exponents, you subtract them, so every exponent at the top will be losing a value. ((Also, I forgot to put it, but, x^2 should also be /4 ----> x^2/4
You can actually also simplify the numbers (that are divisible by 4) but the equation will look a bit different.
PART B: Basically, you are undoing everything you just did...
Remember that multiplying exponents is the equivalent of adding numbers.
