Solve frac{a^{4}b^{2}-a^2b^4}{a^3-ab^2}

$$\frac { a ^ { 4 } b ^ { 2 } - a ^ { 2 } b ^ { 4 } } { a ^ { 3 } - a b ^ { 2 } }$$

Evaluate

$$ab^{2}$$

Short Solution Steps

Factor the expressions that are not already factored.

$$\frac{\left(a+b\right)\left(a-b\right)a^{2}b^{2}}{a\left(a+b\right)\left(a-b\right)}$$

Cancel out a\left(a+b\right)\left(a-b\right) in both numerator and denominator.

$$ab^{2}$$
