1/a+b + 1/a-b +2b/a^2-b^2 simplify​

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{a-b}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{1}{a+b}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{a-b}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2b}{a^2-b^2}[/tex] ← a² - b² is a difference of squares

= [tex]\frac{1}{a+b}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{a-b}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2b}{(a-b)(a+b)}[/tex] ← LCD is (a - b)(a+b)

= [tex]\frac{a-b+a+b+2b}{(a-b)(a+b)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{2a+2b}{(a-b)(a+b)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{2(a+b)}{(a-b)(a+b)}[/tex] ← cancel common factor (a + b) on numerator/ denominator

= [tex]\frac{2}{a-b}[/tex]
