I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the velocity of an orbit at apogee or perigee and I've figured out the derivation of the equation except for this one fraction... I replaced the radius quantities for x and y for ease of viewing.
[itex]\frac{x-y}{x^2 - y^2} = \frac{1}{x + y}[/itex]
Can anybody break this down for me barney-style?
