    Explain
In summary, the purpose of explaining steps is to break down a process or procedure into smaller, more manageable parts. This is important because it helps ensure that the process is followed correctly and efficiently, and allows for any potential mistakes or misunderstandings to be caught and corrected. The steps for a task are determined by breaking down the overall goal into smaller, sequential actions, and can be modified or changed as needed. To ensure that the steps are understood by others, it is important to use clear and concise language, provide visual aids if possible, and allow for questions and clarification. It can also be helpful to have someone else review and test the steps before finalizing them.

How can you go from:

(1+x)^(k-1) / (1+x)^(2k)
to:
1/ (1+x)^(k+1)

?

Thanks!

You can use:
[tex]\frac{a ^ \alpha}{a ^ \beta} = a ^ {\alpha - \beta}[/tex]
And [tex]a ^ {- \alpha} = a ^ {0 - \alpha} = \frac{a ^ 0}{a ^ \alpha} = \frac{1}{a ^ \alpha}[/tex] to solve the problem. So:
[tex]\frac{(1 + x) ^ {k - 1}}{(1 + x) ^ {2k}} = (1 + x) ^ {k - 1 - 2k} = ...[/tex]
Can you go from here?
Viet Dao,

= (1+x)^(-k-1)
=1 / (1+x)^(k+1)

Right?
