What is the simplified form of (1/y)-(1/x) / (1/y) +(1/y)? :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \frac{ 1 }{y } -\frac{ 1 }{ x } }{ \frac{ 1 }{ y } +\frac{ 1 }{ y } }\] \[\frac{ \frac{ 1 }{ y } - \frac{ 1 }{ x}}{ \frac{ 2 }{ y } }\] then keep, change, ad flip (multiply reciprocal of second fraction \[\left( \frac{ 1x }{ xy } - \frac{ 1y }{xy }\right) \frac{ y }{2 }\] \[\left( \frac{ x-y }{ xy } \right) \frac{ y }{ 2}\] \[\frac{ y \left( x-1 \right) }{ 2xy }\] = \[\frac{ xy-y }{ 2xy }\]

dam, although the answer is correct, im giving a medal for the Latex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer isn't correct though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A \(y\) became a \(1\) for some reason.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \left( \frac{ x-y }{ xy } \right) \frac{ y }{ 2}\neq \frac{y(x-1)}{2xy} \]\[ \left( \frac{ x-y }{ xy } \right) \frac{ y }{ 2}=\frac{y(x-y)}{2xy} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, where did your smart remark go?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@wio thats not an option :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You typed the question incorrectly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ xy - y ^{2} }{ 2xy }\] it was my mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \Large \begin{split} \frac{\frac{1}{y}-\frac{1}{x}}{\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{x}} &= \frac{\frac{y-x}{yx}}{\frac{y+x}{xy}} \\ &= \frac{y-x}{y+x} \end{split} \]
