%288y%5E2-2y-1%29%2F%282y%2B2%29
It doesn't help to factor as %28%284y%2B1%29%282y-1%29%29%2F%282%28y%2B1%29%29 because 
nothing cancels when you do.  So we must use long division:

             4y -  5
2y + 2)8y² - 2y -  1
       8y² + 8y
           -10y -  1
           -10y - 10
                   9


       4y - 5 + 9%2F%282y%2B2%29
