Math Problem Statement

add parenthesis where needed in this equation. e^4x + e^−4x/e^4x − e^−4x

Solution

To correctly add parentheses and clarify the order of operations in the given expression, it should be written as:

e4x+e4xe4xe4x\frac{e^{4x} + e^{-4x}}{e^{4x} - e^{-4x}}

This ensures that the entire numerator e4x+e4xe^{4x} + e^{-4x} is treated as a single entity and the entire denominator e4xe4xe^{4x} - e^{-4x} is treated as another single entity.
