Our goal here is to somehow "surgically remove" the repeating part of the number, so let's start by putting the original value in a variable and messing around with it a bit.
We'll let . We want to cut the
bit off completely, so let's create the scalpel that'll let us do that. If
, then we can also say that
. Maybe I was lying a bit: the
is our real scalpel here, and
is where we'll be making the cut. Mathematically, a "cut" is almost always shorthand for subtraction, so let's see what our operation (cutting
off of
) leaves us with:
The operation was a success! We can now simply divide either side by 9 to find , which, when reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, gives us
Answer:
y = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
You first calculate the x coordinate using the equation x = , which in this case is
.
Then plug that x value into the equation to get the y coordinate:
4(-1)²+8(-1)-8 = -12
