Answer
The required solution is $\frac{1}{y\left( y+5 \right)}$.
Work Step by Step
We have the given algebraic expression:
$\frac{{{y}^{-1}}-{{\left( y+5 \right)}^{-1}}}{5}$.
For an algebraic expression, a rational expression is an expression that can be expressed in the form $\frac{p}{q}$, where, both $p\ \text{and }q$ are polynomials and the denominator $q\ne 0$.
So the given expression can also be written as
$\frac{{{y}^{-1}}-{{\left( y+5 \right)}^{-1}}}{5}=\frac{\frac{1}{y}-\frac{1}{y+5}}{5}$.
We know that a complex rational expression or a complex fraction is an algebraic rational expression in which either the numerator contains a rational expression or the denominator contains a rational expression or both the numerator and denominator contain a rational expression.
Here the numerator is $\frac{1}{y}-\frac{1}{y+5}$. Solve the numerator of the given complex rational expression:
$\begin{align}
& \frac{1}{y}-\frac{1}{y+5}=\frac{1}{y}\times \frac{\left( y+5 \right)}{\left( y+5 \right)}-\frac{1}{\left( y+5 \right)}\times \frac{y}{y} \\
& =\frac{y+5}{y\left( y+5 \right)}-\frac{y}{y\left( y+5 \right)} \\
& =\frac{y+5-y}{y\left( y+5 \right)} \\
& =\frac{5}{y\left( y+5 \right)}
\end{align}$.
Therefore, the given complex rational expression becomes
$\begin{align}
& \frac{{{y}^{-1}}-{{\left( y+5 \right)}^{-1}}}{5}=\frac{\frac{5}{y\left( y+5 \right)}}{5} \\
& =\frac{5}{y\left( y+5 \right)}\times \frac{1}{5} \\
& =\frac{1}{y\left( y+5 \right)}
\end{align}$.
Hence, $\frac{{{y}^{-1}}-{{\left( y+5 \right)}^{-1}}}{5}=$ $\frac{1}{y\left( y+5 \right)}$.
