Rational expression
![**Perform the Indicated Operation**
Given the expression:
\[
\frac{\frac{h^3 - 1}{h^4 - 1}}{\frac{6h^2 + 6h + 6}{h^3 + h^2 + h + 1}}
\]
Simplify the expression by performing the indicated operations.
1. **Identify the Numerator and Denominator:**
- Numerator: \(\frac{h^3 - 1}{h^4 - 1}\)
- Denominator: \(\frac{6h^2 + 6h + 6}{h^3 + h^2 + h + 1}\)
2. **Operation:**
- The expression can be simplified by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
\[
\left(\frac{h^3 - 1}{h^4 - 1}\right) \times \left(\frac{h^3 + h^2 + h + 1}{6h^2 + 6h + 6}\right)
\]
3. **Required Result:**
- Find the simplified fraction or integer that represents the product above.
4. **Input Area:**
- The expression equals \(\Box\). (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Please solve this operation following algebraic rules to find the correct simplified answer.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6c693121-0c53-4461-96bf-03d77f2fd62b%2F7d1d3d81-c5a1-4b18-a9fc-3a11fa26c9d8%2Fifttw2g_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
