Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factorise numerators/ denominators where possible
3x² - 4x + 1 = (x - 1)(3x - 1)
x² - 1 ← is a difference of squares and factors as
x² - 1 = (x - 1)(x + 1)
Expressing the product in factored form
×
Cancel common factors on numerator/denominator, that is
Cancel (x - 1) , (x + 1) and (3x - 1), leaving the simplified form 1
