Simplify (frac{1 – x^2}{x – x^2}), where x (neq) 0

Simplify (frac{1 – x^2}{x – x^2}), where x (neq) 0
  • A.
    (frac{1}{x})
  • B.
    (frac{1 – x}{x})
  • C.
    (frac{1 + x}{x})
  • D.
    (frac{1}{x – 1})
  • E.
    (frac{-x – 1}{1})
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

(frac{1 – x^2}{x – x^2}), where x = (neq) 0
(frac{1^2 – x^2}{x – x^2})
= (frac{(1 + x)(1 – x)}{x(1 – x)})
= (frac{1 + x}{x})
