$\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^2-\left(x^2-2+\left(\frac{-1}{x}\right)^2\right)$
Learn how to solve quotient of powers problems step by step online. Expand the expression (x+1/x)^2-(x+-1/x)^2. Expand \left(x+\frac{-1}{x}\right)^2. The power of a quotient is equal to the quotient of the power of the numerator and denominator: \displaystyle\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}. Simplify the product -(x^2-2+\frac{1}{x^2}). Simplify the product -(-2+\frac{1}{x^2}).
