Let's simplify each of these expressions one by one:
(a-b)/b - a/(a+b) To combine these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which in this case is (a+b)b. = [(a-b)(a+b) - ab]/[(a+b)b] = [a^2 - b^2 - ab]/[(a+b)b]
2x/y • x+1/y^2 Multiplying these fractions together gives us: = 2x(x+1)/(y*y^2) = 2x(x+1)/y^3 = 2x^2 + 2x/y^3
(x^2 - 1)/(x) : (x+1)/2 To divide these fractions, we need to invert and multiply the second fraction: = (x^2 - 1)/(x) * (2/(x+1)) = 2(x^2 - 1)/(x(x+1)) = 2(x-1)(x+1)/(x(x+1)) = 2(x-1)/x
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
