Your Input

Find $$$\frac{u^{2}}{1 - u^{2}}$$$ using long division.

Solution

Write the problem in the special format (missed terms are written with zero coefficients):

$$$\begin{array}{r|r}\hline\\- u^{2}+1&u^{2}+0 u+0\end{array}$$$

Step 1

Divide the leading term of the dividend by the leading term of the divisor: $$$\frac{u^{2}}{- u^{2}} = -1$$$.

Write down the calculated result in the upper part of the table.

Multiply it by the divisor: $$$- \left(- u^{2}+1\right) = u^{2}-1$$$.

Subtract the dividend from the obtained result: $$$\left(u^{2}\right) - \left(u^{2}-1\right) = 1$$$.

$$\begin{array}{r|rrr:c}&{\color{Brown}-1}&&&\\\hline\\{\color{Magenta}- u^{2}}+1&{\color{Brown}u^{2}}&+0 u&+0&\frac{{\color{Brown}u^{2}}}{{\color{Magenta}- u^{2}}} = {\color{Brown}-1}\\&-\phantom{u^{2}}&&&\\&u^{2}&+0 u&-1&{\color{Brown}-1} \left(- u^{2}+1\right) = u^{2}-1\\\hline\\&&&1&\end{array}$$

Since the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the divisor, we are done.

The resulting table is shown once more:

$$\begin{array}{r|rrr:c}&{\color{Brown}-1}&&&\text{Hints}\\\hline\\{\color{Magenta}- u^{2}}+1&{\color{Brown}u^{2}}&+0 u&+0&\frac{{\color{Brown}u^{2}}}{{\color{Magenta}- u^{2}}} = {\color{Brown}-1}\\&-\phantom{u^{2}}&&&\\&u^{2}&+0 u&-1&{\color{Brown}-1} \left(- u^{2}+1\right) = u^{2}-1\\\hline\\&&&1&\end{array}$$

Therefore, $$$\frac{u^{2}}{1 - u^{2}} = -1 + \frac{1}{1 - u^{2}}$$$.

Answer

$$$\frac{u^{2}}{1 - u^{2}} = -1 + \frac{1}{1 - u^{2}}$$$A
