Using the scale factor, we have ...

<em>Additional comment</em>
I like to write proportions with the variable in the numerator. That way they are easily solved by a single multiplication. The trick is to get corresponding parts in the same positions. Here, the fractions are written ...
B/A = smaller part / larger part = x/8 = 0.25/1
F(x) - g(x) =
x^1/2 - (2x^3 - x^1/2)=
x^1/2 - 2x^3 + x^1/2=
2x^1/2 - 2x^3
