SUMMARY

The expression (1 - (y²/x²)) / (1 + (y²/x²)) simplifies to (x² - y²) / (x² + y²) through the multiplication by 1 in the form of (x²/x²). This method effectively eliminates the fractions within the expression, allowing for a clearer simplification. The final result is a rational expression that can be further analyzed or used in various mathematical contexts.
