$The Exp.= \frac{y^{2} + 1}{y^{2} - y + 1} .$ $"The Exp.="(y^2+1)/(y^2-y+1).$

For ease of writing, let, $x = \frac{y}{y + \frac{1}{y}},$ $x=y/(y+1/y),$ so that, the given

Expression (Exp.) becomes,

Exp. $=y/(y-x).........(star).$

Now, $x=y/(y+1/y)=y/{(y^2+1)/y}=y^2/(y^2+1).$

$:. y-x=y-y^2/(y^2+1)={y(y^2+1)-y^2}/(y^2+1).$

$rArr y-x={y(y^2+1-y)}/(y^2+1).$

Therefore, the Exp. = $y/(y-x)=y-:1/(y-x),$

$=y-:{y(y^2+1-y)}/(y^2+1),$

$=cancel(y)xx(y^2+1)/{cancel(y)(y^2+1-y)}.$

$rArr" The Exp.="(y^2+1)/(y^2-y+1).$
