Solve x^6+1/x^2

$$x ^ { 6 } + \frac { 1 } { x ^ { 2 } }$$

Evaluate

$$x^{6}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply x^{6} times \frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}}.

$$\frac{x^{6}x^{2}}{x^{2}}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}$$

Since \frac{x^{6}x^{2}}{x^{2}} and \frac{1}{x^{2}} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{x^{6}x^{2}+1}{x^{2}}$$

Do the multiplications in x^{6}x^{2}+1.

$$\frac{x^{8}+1}{x^{2}}$$

Factor

$$\frac{x^{8}+1}{x^{2}}$$
