You asked:

Simplify the expression: \(\frac{{x}^{2} - 1}{2 \cdot {x}^{2}} \cdot x \cdot \frac{x}{x + 1}\)

MathBot Answer:

Simplified:

\[ \frac{{x}^{2} - 1}{2 \cdot {x}^{2}} \cdot x \cdot \frac{x}{x + 1} = \frac{x}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \]


Expanded:

\[ \frac{{x}^{2} - 1}{2 \cdot {x}^{2}} \cdot x \cdot \frac{x}{x + 1} = \frac{x^{4}}{2 x^{3} + 2 x^{2}} - \frac{x^{2}}{2 x^{3} + 2 x^{2}} \]


Factored:

\[ \frac{{x}^{2} - 1}{2 \cdot {x}^{2}} \cdot x \cdot \frac{x}{x + 1} = \frac{x - 1}{2} \]
