Question 93002: I am having trouble on how to solve this problem. Express your result in simplest form. %284y%29%2F%28y%5E2%2B6y%2B5%29+%282y%29%2F%28y%5E2-1%29
This is as far as I am able to get then I cant seem to get any further.
y%5E2%2B6y%2B5=%28y%2B2%29%28y%2B3%29
y%5E2-1=%28y%2B1%29%28y-1%29
Could someone please show me how to complete this equation.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%284y%29%2F%28y%5E2%2B6y%2B5%29+%282y%29%2F%28y%5E2-1%29
After you take factors out:
%284y%29%2F%28y%2B1%29%28y%2B5%29+%282y%29%2F%28y%2B1%29%28y-1%29
After you take out the MCD:
%284y%28y-1%29%2B2y%28y%2B5%29%29%2F%28y%2B1%29%28y%2B5%29%28y-1%29
After you combine and cancel comon factors:
%286y%29%2F%28y%2B1%29
