Question 1076077: Given: f(x)=x^2+27/x
Ultimately, I am supposed to analyze the graph of this function, but my immediate question is ONLY regarding what text says should be first step: "First, write f(x) as an improper rational function in lowest terms."
They show: f(x)=x^2+27/x = (x^3+27)/x.
I don't understand this result.
Does not multiplying both terms by "x" (the LCD) eliminate the fraction, resulting in just x^3+27 ?

That's not correct.
