Solution:

Given,

= $\dfrac{1}{a-1} -\dfrac{1}{a+1} -\dfrac{2}{a²+1} -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{1(a+1)}{(a-1)(a+1)} -\dfrac{1(a-1)}{(a+1)(a-1)} -\dfrac{2}{a²+1} -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{a+1}{a²-1} -\dfrac{a-1}{a²-1} -\dfrac{2}{a²+1} -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{a+1 -(a-1)}{a²-1} -\dfrac{2}{a²+1} -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{a+1 -a+1)}{a²-1} -\dfrac{2}{a²+1} -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{2)}{a²-1} -\dfrac{2}{a²+1} -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{2(a²+1)}{(a²-1)(a²+1)} -\dfrac{2(a²-1)}{(a²+1)(a²-1)} -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{2a²+2}{(a²-1)(a²+1)} -\dfrac{2a²-2}{(a²+1)(a²-1)} -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{2a²+2-(2a²-2)}{a⁴-1}  -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{2a²+2-2a²+2}{a⁴-1}  -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{4}{a⁴-1}  -\dfrac{4}{a⁴+1}$

= $\dfrac{4(a⁴+1)}{(a⁴-1)(a⁴+1)}  -\dfrac{4(a⁴-1)}{(a⁴+1)(a⁴-1)}$

= $\dfrac{4a⁴+4}{a⁸-1}  -\dfrac{4a⁴-4}{a⁸-1}$

= $\dfrac{4a⁴+4-(4a⁴-4)}{a⁸-1}$

= $\dfrac{4a⁴+4-4a⁴+4}{a⁸-1}$

= $\dfrac{8}{a⁸-1}$
