Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The expression
Formula used:
The simplest form of an algebraic fraction is when numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1 and
Calculation:
Consider the expression
Recall that the simplest form of an algebraic fraction is when numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1 and
So, take out
To restrict the variable, exclude the value that makes the denominator zero.
Since, the value of denominator can never be zero as there is square of variables. So, there is no restriction on the variables.
Thus, the simplified value of the expression
