Simplifying a product of complex conjugates to a sum
I found the following simplification but unsure how it to derive it.
$$frac{1}{1+j2pi f}frac{1}{1-j2pi f} = frac{1/2}{1+j2pi f}+frac{1/2}{1-j2pi f}$$
The latter form makes taking the Fourier transform much easier than the former. My initial thought was to condence the demonominator into to the form of $(a+b)^2$ but that form doesn't help me.

I think you meant:$$frac{1}{1+j2pi f}frac{1}{1-j2pi f} = frac{1/2}{1+j2pi f}+frac{1/2}{1-j2pi f}$$
This is because we can use the fact that $(1+j2pi f)+(1-j2pi f)=2$, to get:
$$frac{1}{1+j2pi f}frac{1}{1-j2pi f}=frac12frac2{(1+j2pi f)(1-j2pi f)}=frac12left(frac{1+j2pi f+1-j2pi f}{(1+j2pi f)(1-j2pi f)}right)\=frac12left(frac1{1-j2pi f}+frac1{1+j2pi f}right)$$
This is generally known as the method of partial fractions.
I saw my error and fixed. thank you for the response!
