Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. m and n are real numbers. n is not equal to0, as it is in the denominator

STEP 2

First, we simplify the term (m)0(-m)^{0}.
Any non-zero number raised to the power of0 is1.
(m)0=1(-m)^{0} =1

STEP 3

Now, we substitute (m)0(-m)^{0} with1 in the original expression.
[(mn)21]÷(mn1+1)\left[\left(\frac{m}{n}\right)^{2}-1\right] \div\left(m n^{-1}+1\right)

STEP 4

Next, we simplify the term (mn)2\left(\frac{m}{n}\right)^{2}.
This is equivalent to m2n2\frac{m^2}{n^2}.
[m2n21]÷(mn1+1)\left[\frac{m^2}{n^2}-1\right] \div\left(m n^{-1}+1\right)

STEP 5

We simplify the term mn1m n^{-1}.
This is equivalent to mn\frac{m}{n}.
[m2n21]÷(mn+1)\left[\frac{m^2}{n^2}-1\right] \div\left(\frac{m}{n}+1\right)

STEP 6

Now, we simplify the expression by subtracting1 from m2n2\frac{m^2}{n^2}.
This is equivalent to m2n2n2\frac{m^2-n^2}{n^2}.
m2n2n2÷(mn+1)\frac{m^2-n^2}{n^2} \div\left(\frac{m}{n}+1\right)

STEP 7

Next, we rewrite the division as a multiplication by the reciprocal.
m2n2n2×(nm+1)1\frac{m^2-n^2}{n^2} \times\left(\frac{n}{m}+1\right)^{-1}

STEP 8

We simplify the term (nm+1)1\left(\frac{n}{m}+1\right)^{-1}.
This is equivalent to mm+n\frac{m}{m+n}.
m2n2n2×mm+n\frac{m^2-n^2}{n^2} \times\frac{m}{m+n}

STEP 9

Finally, we multiply the two fractions together.
m2n2n2×mm+n=m(m2n2)n2(m+n)\frac{m^2-n^2}{n^2} \times\frac{m}{m+n} = \frac{m(m^2-n^2)}{n^2(m+n)}The simplified expression is m(m2n2)n2(m+n)\frac{m(m^2-n^2)}{n^2(m+n)}.
