Answer:

\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{50a}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} / \frac{10a}{4a^2 - 1}

Required

Find the equivalent

We start by changing the / to *

\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} / \frac{10a}{4a^2 - 1}

\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} * \frac{4a^2 - 1}{10a}

Factorize 10a - 5

\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{4a^2 - 1}{10a}

Expand 4a² - 1

\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{(2a)^2 - 1}{10a}

\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{(2a)^2 - 1^2}{10a}

Express (2a)² - 1² as a difference of two squares

Difference of two squares is such that: a^2- b^2= (a+b)(a-b)

The expression becomes

\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{(2a - 1)(2a + 1)}{10a}

Combine both fractions to form a single fraction

\frac{(2a + 1)(2a - 1)(2a + 1)}{5(2a - 1)10a}

Divide the numerator and denominator by 2a - 1

\frac{(2a + 1)((2a + 1)}{5*10a}

Simplify the numerator

\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{5*10a}

\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{50a}

Hence,

\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} / \frac{10a}{4a^2 - 1} = \frac{(2a + 1)^2}{50a}
