EXAMPLE 5 Simplify a complex fraction (Method 1) Let f be the focal length of a thin camera lens, p be the distance between an object being photographed and the lens, and q be the distance between the lens and the film. For the photograph to be in focus, the variables should satisfy the lens equation below. Simplify the complex fraction. Physics Lens equation: f 1 1 p 1 q + =

EXAMPLE 5 Simplify a complex fraction (Method 1) SOLUTION 1 1 p 1 q + f = 1 q pq p qp + = 1 q + p pq = q + p pq = Write denominator as a single fraction. Divide numerator by denominator.

EXAMPLE 6 Simplify a complex fraction (Method 2) Simplify: 5 x x SOLUTION The LCD of all the fractions in the numerator and denominator is x(x + 4). 5 x x x = x(x+4) Multiply numerator and denominator by the LCD. x + 2(x + 4) 5x5x = Simplify. 5x5x 3x + 8 =
