Just a quick question on the derivation of energy

[genericusrnme]

I've been reading through a book on relativity and I came across this

\mathcal{E}=p . v - L
\mathcal{E} =\frac{m v}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}.v + m c^2\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

I know this part well enough but then the book arrives at

\mathcal{E}=\frac{m c^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}

How did that happen?
All I can get is this

\mathcal{E} =\frac{m v^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}} + m c^2\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}\neq \frac{m c^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance

Multiply the second term by
\frac{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}
and I think you'll find that it works.

Ah, thanks Parlyne
I feel like a tool now :L
