How do you multiply and simplify #\frac { x ^ { 2} + 2x y + y ^ { 2} } { 2x ^ { 2} + 2x y } \cdot \frac { x - y } { x ^ { 2} - y ^ { 2} }#? Algebra Exponents and Exponential Functions Exponential Growth 1 Answer Deepak G. Feb 21, 2017 #=1/(2x)# Explanation: #(x^2+2xy+y^2)/(2x^2+2xy)times(x-y)/(x^2-y^2)# #=(x+y)^2/(2x(x+y))times(x-y)/((x+y)(x-y))# #=(x+y)^2/(2x(x+y)^2)times(x-y)/(x-y)# #=1/(2x)# Answer link Related questions What is Exponential Growth?
