Assuming the compound fraction
(a / (b2a - 2a)) / ((b + 1) / b)
(1 / (b2 - 2))(b / (b + 1)
b / (b3 + b2 - 2b - 2)

——————
b2a — 2a
———
b + 1
—
b
(A) (1)/(b2-2ab3)
(B) (b(1+b))/(-2 + b3 + b4)
(C) (1 + b2)/(-2b + b2 + b4)
(D) (b2 + 1)/(b3-2b)
(E) None of the above
For this I got; (C). Is this correct?

denomaintor:
b^2a - 2a/ (b + 1/b) =
b^2 - 2a / (b^2+1)/b =
b^2 - 2ab/(b^2+1) =
[b^2 (b^2+1) - 2ab ]/(b^2+1) =
[b^4 + b^2 - 2ab]/(b^2+1) =
the reciprocal of this gets multiplied by a:
a(b^2+1) / [b^4 + b^2 - 2ab]
It is none of the above
