Question 133297: Hi all
I have a couple of easy ones for you, but I need to know if I have got them correct for my methodology. Would you please be so kind and have a look at these for me. Thank you.
I am asked to simplify the following:
Q1/ x-x^-1 and also Q2/ (x+x^-1)^-1
I have
Q1/ x-1/x and also Q2/ 1/(x+1/x)
Am I on the right track?
Thank you so very much.
Cheers D
