Factoring??...I need HELP!!!?

Question

(x^(3/4)) + (5x^(3/4)/x)

can someone show me the steps to factoring this problem..I can't seem to get it right..I'm totally LOST!!!

Answer 1

x^(3/4) + [5x^(3/4)/x] =

factor out the common term x^(3/4), yielding:

x^(3/4) [1 + (5/x)] =

x^(3/4) [(x + 5)/x] =

then simplfy it into:

x^(3/4) x^(-1) (x + 5) =

{x^[(3/4) -1]} (x + 5) =

[x^(-1/4)] (x + 5)

that is completely factored

I hope it helps...

Bye!
