How do you simplify this?

Question

(1+(x/y)) / (1-(x^2/y^2))

Answer 1

idk

Answer 2

uhh,

i forgot.=)

Answer 3

math was never my strong suit..

Answer 4

The bottom can be simplified into a difference of two squares.

(1+(x/y)) / (1-(x^2/y^2)) = (1+(x/y)) / ( (1-(x/y) (1+(x/y) )

                                 = 1 / (1-(x/y))

1-(x^2/y^2) is the same as 1^2 - (x/y)^2. As you can see it becomes a difference of two squares. and the terms cancel out. :) hope that makes sense.  

Answer 5

pickles!!

Answer 6

= (1 + [x/y])/(1 - [x²/y²])

= ([x + y]/y)/([y² - x²]/y²)

= ([x + y]/y)(y²/[{y + x}{y - x}])

= 1/1(y/[y - x])

= y/(y - x)

Answer: y/(y - x)
