Math Problem Statement

Simplify the given mathematical expression: (sqrt(ab) - ab/(a + sqrt(ab))) * (2(sqrt(ab - b))/(a - b))

Solution

The given mathematical expression simplifies to:

aab(ab)2b(a1)(a+ab)\frac{a \cdot \sqrt{a b} \cdot (a - b)}{2 \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot (a - 1)} \cdot (a + \sqrt{a b})}
