Answer:
1 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/8 - 1 7/8
I like to line them up vertically
3 1/8
- 1 7/8
---------------
We need to borrow from the 3
Take 1 from the 3 and make it 8/8
2 (1/8+8/8)
- 1 (7/8)
---------------------
2 (9/8)
- 1 (7/8)
---------------------
1 2/8
Simplify the fraction by dividing by 2 on the top and bottom
1 1/4
You want to be finding out what two factors (where one of them is a perfect square) has the produce of 63. It seems like 9 x 7 (9 is the perfect square) works.

The square root of 9 is 3 so we can just have

(which just means 3 times the square root of 7).
The Factor Theorem says (x - a) is a factor of function p(x) if p(a)=0
so check for p(-2)
= -2^4 +3(-2)^3 + 4(-2)^2 - 8
= 16 - 24 +16 -8
= 0
so (x + 2) is a factor
