Answer

3t2−4t2(t2−2)\frac{3t^2 - 4}{t^2(t^2-2)}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Simplify the denominators of the given expression.

    The expression is:

    1((t2−1)−1)+2((t2−1)+1)\frac{1}{((t^2-1)-1)} + \frac{2}{((t^2-1)+1)}

    Simplify the first denominator:

    (t2−1)−1=t2−2(t^2-1)-1 = t^2-2

    Simplify the second denominator:

    (t2−1)+1=t2(t^2-1)+1 = t^2
  2. Rewrite the expression with the simplified denominators.

    1t2−2+2t2\frac{1}{t^2-2} + \frac{2}{t^2}
  3. Find a common denominator to combine the fractions.

    The common denominator is t2(t2−2)t^2(t^2-2).
    Multiply the first term by t2t2\frac{t^2}{t^2} and the second term by t2−2t2−2\frac{t^2-2}{t^2-2}:

    1t2−2⋅t2t2+2t2⋅t2−2t2−2\frac{1}{t^2-2} \cdot \frac{t^2}{t^2} + \frac{2}{t^2} \cdot \frac{t^2-2}{t^2-2} =t2t2(t2−2)+2(t2−2)t2(t2−2)= \frac{t^2}{t^2(t^2-2)} + \frac{2(t^2-2)}{t^2(t^2-2)}
  4. Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

    =t2+2(t2−2)t2(t2−2)= \frac{t^2 + 2(t^2-2)}{t^2(t^2-2)} =t2+2t2−4t2(t2−2)= \frac{t^2 + 2t^2 - 4}{t^2(t^2-2)} =3t2−4t2(t2−2)= \frac{3t^2 - 4}{t^2(t^2-2)}

    The simplified expression is 3t2−4t2(t2−2)\frac{3t^2 - 4}{t^2(t^2-2)}.
