a, \(N=\left(\frac{1}{y-1}-\frac{y}{1-y^3}.\frac{y^2+y+1}{y+1}\right):\frac{1}{y^2-1}\)
\(=\left(\frac{1}{y-1}-\frac{y}{\left(1-y\right)\left(1+y+y^2\right)}.\frac{y^2+y+1}{y+1}\right):\frac{1}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}\)
\(=\left(\frac{1}{y-1}+\frac{y\left(y^2+y+1\right)}{\left(y+1\right)^2\left(y^2+y+1\right)}\right):\frac{1}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}\)
\(=\left(\frac{1}{y-1}+\frac{y}{\left(y+1\right)^2}\right):\frac{1}{\left(y-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}\)
\(=\left(\frac{\left(y+1\right)^2+y\left(y-1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)^2}\right).\frac{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}{1}=\frac{y^2+2y+1+y^2-y}{y+1}=\frac{2y^2+y+1}{y+1}\)
b, Thay y = 1/2 ta có :
\(\frac{2.\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\frac{1}{2}+1}{\frac{1}{2}+1}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{2}}=\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{5}{12}\)
