simplify (x-1/x)^2

Solution

simplify

(x - \frac{1}{x})^{2}

Solution

\frac{( x ^{2} - 1 ) ^{2}}{x ^{2}}

Solution steps

(x - \frac{1}{x})^{2}

Join

x - \frac{1}{x} : \frac{x ^{2} - 1}{x}

= (\frac{x ^{2} - 1}{x})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( x ^{2} - 1 ) ^{2}}{x ^{2}}
