Question
Simplify each complex rational expression by using the LCD.$$\frac{\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}}{\frac{1}{p^{2}}-\frac{1}{q^{2}}}$$
Step 1
For the numerator, the common denominator is pq, and for the denominator, the common denominator is $p^{2}q^{2}$. So, the complex fraction becomes: $$\frac{\frac{p}{pq}+\frac{q}{pq}}{\frac{q^{2}}{p^{2}q^{2}}-\frac{p^{2}}{p^{2}q^{2}}}$$ Show more…
