Solve 12x^4+4/x^2

$$12 x ^ { 4 } + \frac { 4 } { x ^ { 2 } }$$

Evaluate

$$12x^{4}+\frac{4}{x^{2}}$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 12x^{4} times \frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}}.

$$\frac{12x^{4}x^{2}}{x^{2}}+\frac{4}{x^{2}}$$

Since \frac{12x^{4}x^{2}}{x^{2}} and \frac{4}{x^{2}} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{12x^{4}x^{2}+4}{x^{2}}$$

Do the multiplications in 12x^{4}x^{2}+4.

$$\frac{12x^{6}+4}{x^{2}}$$

Factor

$$\frac{4\left(3x^{6}+1\right)}{x^{2}}$$
