Simplify \(\frac{1}{1-x} + \frac{2}{1+x}\)

  • A. \(\frac{x+3}{1-x^2}\)
  • B. \(\frac{x-3}{1+x^2}\)
  • C. \(\frac{3-x}{1-x^2}\)
  • D. \(\frac{3-x}{1+x^2}\)

Correct Answer: C. \(\frac{3-x}{1-x^2}\)

Explanation

\(\frac{1}{1-x} + \frac{2}{1+x}\\

\frac{1+x+2-2x}{(1-x)(1+x)} = \(\frac{3-x}{1-x^2}\)\)
