Question

Can someone Explain how they got the part that is circled from the second derivative. I am having problems simplifying and cleaning up the problem to the ending result. When I try to simplifiy I get close to what is circled in red but I get a -4(x^2 - 1) squared instead of -4(x^2 -1)

Explanation / Answer

They have taken (x^2 - 1) common from the numerator and denominator and cancelled it
