FIRST section: x^2-3x+2 = x^2-x-2x+2=(x^2-x) -2x+2 = (x^2-x) -2(x-a million) = x(x-a million) -2(x-a million) = (x-2)(x-a million) 2nd section: x^-4 = x^2- 2^2 = (x-2)(x+2) So now your equation looks like this: FIRST section / 2nd section or (x-2)(x-a million) / (x-2)(x+2) and this comes out at (x-a million) / (x+2), so the respond is B.
