You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x+2x^-2)/x (x^-2 = 1/x^2)
=(x+2/x^2)/x
Now let's do the addition in the numerator. To do this addition, we should make the denominators the same. We get;
((x^3+2)/x^2)/x
Now when we divide the numerator by the denominator, we get;
(x^3+2)/x^3
I hope you can undertand the solution. If you don't, do not hesitate to ask!
