\(\dfrac{x^{-2}+3x^{-1}}{x^{-2}+7x^{-1}+12}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{1}{x^2}+\dfrac{3}{x}\right):\left(\dfrac{1}{x^2}+\dfrac{7}{x}+12\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1+3x}{x^2}:\dfrac{1+7x+12x^2}{x^2}\)
\(=\dfrac{1+3x}{1+7x+12x^2}\)
\(=\dfrac{3x+1}{12x^2+3x+4x+1}\)
\(=\dfrac{3x+1}{3x\left(4x+1\right)+\left(4x+1\right)}=\dfrac{1}{4x+1}\)
