\n" );
document.write( "(a^-2 + a) / a + 1\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "(1 + a^3) / a^2(a + 1) Multiplying numerator and denominator by a^2\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "(a^3 +1) / a^2(a + 1)\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "(a +1)(a^2 -a +1) / a^2(a + 1) factoring out (a+1) in the numerator\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "(a^2 -a +1) / a^2  Simplifying\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
