Multiply out the numerator of that mess over c^2. Then find a quick common divisor. Then use the rules :

$\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} = \frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}$

and

$\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \frac{ad}{bc}$

I'm not sure what you mean by "multiply out the numerator of that mess over c^2"?

The quantity $(\frac{u'+v}{1+vu'/c^2})^2$

 

[chris_0101]

yea, but how does one multiply out the numerator?
do you mean like this:
(a/b)/c = (a/b)*(1/c)

...

$(\frac{u'+v}{1+vu'/c^2})^2 = (\frac{u'+v}{1+vu'/c^2})(\frac{u'+v}{1+vu'/c^2})$

Now some simple bedmas and you're done...

This is what I got:

(u'^2 + 2u'v + v^2)/((u'^2 v^2)/c^4) + (2((u'v)/c^2) +1

Is this right?
