What?

As stated you ask for %28x-1%2Fx%5E2%29%2F%28x-1%2Fx%5E3%29.

If it is not what you meant then you need to make the right adjustment.

%28%28%28x-1%29%2Fx%5E2%29%29+%2F+%28%28%28x-1%29%2Fx%5E3%29%29 = %28%28x-1%29%2Ax%5E3%29%2F%28%28x-1%29%2Ax%5E2%29 = x.



So,  %28%28%28x-1%29%2Fx%5E2%29%29+%2F+%28%28%28x-1%29%2Fx%5E3%29%29 = x  everywhere, except the values x= 0 and x= 1, where the left side is not defined.
