What is the product? StartFraction 3 k Over k + 1 EndFraction times StartFraction k squared minus 1 Over 3 k cubed EndFraction StartFraction k + 1 Over k squared EndFraction StartFraction k minus 1 Over k squared EndFraction StartFraction negative 1 Over k EndFraction StartFraction 1 Over k EndFraction

Answer 1

Answer:

StartFraction negative 1 Over k cubed EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

3k / (k + 1) × (k²- 1) / 3k³

= 3k(k² - 1) / (k + 1)(3k³)

= 3k³ - 3k / 3k⁴ + 3k³

= -3k / 3k⁴

= -1/k³

StartFraction k + 1 Over k squared EndFraction

(k + 1) / k²

StartFraction k minus 1 Over k squared EndFraction

(k - 1)/k²

StartFraction negative 1 Over k cubed EndFraction

= -1/k³

StartFraction 1 Over k EndFraction

= 1/k
