1. Problem Description

The problem is to simplify the expression x215xyx2y1+x\frac{x^2-1}{5xy} \cdot \frac{x^2y}{1+x}.

2. Solution Steps

First, factor the numerator x21x^2 - 1 using the difference of squares formula:
x21=(x1)(x+1)x^2 - 1 = (x-1)(x+1).
Then rewrite the expression as:
(x1)(x+1)5xyx2y1+x\frac{(x-1)(x+1)}{5xy} \cdot \frac{x^2y}{1+x}.
Now, cancel out the common factors. Since 1+x=x+11+x = x+1, we can cancel out (x+1)(x+1) from the numerator and the denominator. Also, we can cancel out xx and yy from the numerator and the denominator.
(x1)(x+1)5xyx2yx+1=(x1)5xyx2y1\frac{(x-1)(x+1)}{5xy} \cdot \frac{x^2y}{x+1} = \frac{(x-1)}{5xy} \cdot \frac{x^2y}{1}.
=(x1)x2y5xy= \frac{(x-1)x^2y}{5xy}.
Cancel xyxy from numerator and denominator:
=(x1)x5= \frac{(x-1)x}{5}.
Distribute xx in the numerator:
=x2x5= \frac{x^2-x}{5}.

3. Final Answer

The simplified expression is x2x5\frac{x^2-x}{5}.
