anonymous · Answer

m + 1
m - 1 ) m^2 + 0m + 1
            m^2 - m
                     m + 1
                      m - 1
                              2
The answer is m + 1 + 2/(m + 1).

m+3/m+1???

anonymous · Answer

I saw (m^2 + 1) / (m - 1) in the first post.

anonymous · Answer

When I did the long division for that problem I got
m + 1 + 2/(m - 1). Somehow or other a positive sign ended up in the denominator where a negative sign belings.  My bad.
