Simplify x-x^3/x-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x-x ^{3}=x(1-x ^{2})=x(1-x)(1+x)=-x(1-x)(x-1)\] \[x-x ^{3}/(x-1)=-x(x+1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is this happen? −x(1−x)(x−1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correction x−x3=x(1−x2)=x(1−x)(1+x)=−x(x-1)(x+1) x−x3/(x−1)=−x(x+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-(1-x)=(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh... okay what if, the answer is this x(x+1) is it okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, he answer is : f(x)=-x(x+1)
