simplify the equation [1/(x-1)-1/(x+1)+1]*(x+1)/(x^2+1)

We'll multiply by LCD inside the first pair of
brackets:


LCD = (x-1)(x+1) = x^2 -
1


[(x+1-x+1+x^2-1)/(x^2-1)]*[(x+1)/(x^2+1)]


We'll
combine and eliminate like terms:


[(x^2 +
1)/(x^2-1)]*[(x+1)/(x^2+1)]


We'll simplify by
(x^2+1):


[(x^2 + 1)/(x^2-1)]*[(x+1)/(x^2+1)] =
(x+1)/(x^2-1)


W'll re-write the difference of squares from
denominator as a product:


(x+1)/(x^2-1) =
(x+1)/(x-1)(x+1)


We'll simplify by
(x+1):


E(x) =
1/(x-1)


The simplified expression is E(x) =
1/(x-1).

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
