Question

What is the simplified form of (y/(y^2-x^2))-(x/(y^2-x^2))

Answer 1

\[\frac{y}{y^2 - x^2} - \frac{x}{y^2 - x^2}\]

Answer 2

ya that

Answer 3

Do you know about the difference of two squares?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

Factoring the difference of two squares states that:

\[a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)\]

Can you see any matching patterns with your expression?

Answer 6

ya

Answer 7

is the answer 1/y-x?

Answer 8

\[\frac{y - x}{y^2 - x^2} = \frac{y - x}{(y+x)(y - x)}\]

Check your cancellation more carefully

Answer 9

1/y+x?

Answer 10

Good job
