The error is present in second step when cancelling numerator and denominator and the solution of the expression [tex](1+1/x)/(1-1/x^{2} )[/tex] is [tex]x/x-1[/tex].
Given Expression [tex](1+1/x)/(1-1/x^{2} )[/tex] and incorrect solution. and we need to identify the error and solve the expression correctly.
The expression is [tex](1+1/x)/(1-1/x^{2} )[/tex]
In the solution given the second step of cancelling 1's in numerator and denominator is wrong.
The solution which is correct is as under:
[tex](1+1/x)/(1-1/x^{2} )[/tex]
firstly take LCM in numerator and denominator
=[tex](x+1)/x/(x^{2} -1)/x^{2}[/tex]
Now we can write the expression properly.
=[tex](x+1)*x^{2} /(x^{2} -1)*x[/tex]
Power of [tex]x^{2}[/tex] to be deducted from x
=[tex](x+1)*x/(x^{2} -1)[/tex]
Now [tex]x^{2} -1[/tex] can be written as (x+1)(x-1)
=[tex](x+1)*x/(x+1)(x-1)[/tex]
(x+1) will be deducted now from numerator and denominator.
=x/(x-1)
Hence the solution of the given expression is x/(x-1).

The answer to this question is x/x₋1
Given the expression is 1₊1/x /1₋1/x²
Take the LCM of the denominators
we get, x₊1/x / x²₋1/x²
Now multiply the expression
=x₊1/x × x²/x²₋1
=(x₊1) x²/ x(x²₋1)
(x²₋1) is in the form of (a²₋b²)=(a₊b)(a₋b)
Therefore, (x₊1)x²/x(x₋1)(x₊1)
After cancelling like terms we get the answer as:
x/(x₋1)
Hence we get the simplification answer as x/(x₋1).
