[ (1/s) - (2/s) - (1/2) ] / (s + 1)   =   [ (2 - 4 - s)/2s ] / (s + 1)

                                                =   [ (-2 - s)/2s ] / (s + 1)

                                                =   (-2 - s) / [ 2s (s + 1) ]

                                                =   - (2 + s) / [ 2s (s + 1) ]

 

Hence, [ (1/s) - (2/s) - (1/2) ] / (s + 1)  =  - (s + 2) / [ 2s (s + 1) ]
