ĐKXĐ: \(x\notin\left\{-1;-\dfrac{1}{2}\right\}\)
a) Ta có: \(P=\left(\dfrac{2x}{x^3+x^2+x+1}+\dfrac{1}{x+1}\right):\left(1+\dfrac{x}{x+1}\right)\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{2x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x^2+1\right)}+\dfrac{x^2+1}{\left(x^2+1\right)\left(x+1\right)}\right):\left(\dfrac{x+1+x}{x+1}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{x^2+2x+1}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x^2+1\right)}:\dfrac{2x+1}{x+1}\)
\(=\dfrac{\left(x+1\right)^2}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x^2+1\right)}\cdot\dfrac{x+1}{2x+1}\)
\(=\dfrac{x^2+2x+1}{\left(2x+1\right)\left(x^2+1\right)}\)
b) Vì \(x=\dfrac{1}{4}\) thỏa mãn ĐKXĐ
nên Thay \(x=\dfrac{1}{4}\) vào biểu thức \(P=\dfrac{x^2+2x+1}{\left(2x+1\right)\left(x^2+1\right)}\), ta được:
\(P=\left[\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^2+2\cdot\dfrac{1}{4}+1\right]:\left[\left(2\cdot\dfrac{1}{4}+1\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{16}+1\right)\right]\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{2}+1\right):\left[\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+1\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{16}+1\right)\right]\)
\(=\dfrac{25}{16}:\dfrac{51}{32}=\dfrac{25}{16}\cdot\dfrac{32}{51}=\dfrac{50}{51}\)
Vậy: Khi \(x=\dfrac{1}{4}\) thì \(P=\dfrac{50}{51}\)
