Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

given

\frac{x8x^2-8}{4x+4} , x ≠ - 1

The x ≠ - 1 means that x cannot take the value of - 1 as this would make the denominator equal to zero which would make the fraction undefined.

Factor the numerator/ denominator

8x² - 8 = 8(x² - 1) ← factor out 8 from both terms

x² - 1 ← is a difference of squares, hence

8x² - 8 = 8(x - 1)(x + 1)

4x + 4 = 4(x + 1) ← factor out 4 from both terms

Thus the fraction now simplifies to

\frac{8(x-1)(x+1)}{4(x+1)}

Cancel the 8 and 4 by 4 and cancel the factor (x + 1), leaving

=  2(x - 1) = 2x - 2 ← in the form ax + b

<h3>Answer: point Q is located at (-1, 1)</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

Check out the diagram below.

Plot R(-3,7) and T(3,-11) on the same xy grid.

Draw a vertical line through R and a horizontal line through T. A right triangle forms. At the intersection point is point S(-3,-11)

----------------------

Now measure the distance from point S to point T. You can count out the spaces or subtract the x coordinates and use absolute value.

|x1-x2| = |-3-3| = |-6| = 6

From point S to point T is 6 units.

We want to subdivide this horizontal length in the ratio 1:2

What this means is that we want to plot a point U somewhere such that SU:UT = 1:2

In other words,

SU = x

UT = 2x

SU+UT = ST

x+2x = 6

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

So we must move 2 spaces to the right from point S to get to U(-1,-11)

Going from point U(-1,-11) to T(3,-11) is 4 spaces

We have SU:UT = 2:4 = 1:2 to help confirm we have the correct location for point U

From point U, we then move straight up to the line segment RT

We'll land on Q(-1,1)

----------------------

Another way to find the y coordinate of point Q is to subdivide the segment RS into the ratio 1:2 similar to how we divided ST up

Segment RS is 18 units long since we go from y = 7 to y = -11 when going from R to S.

If V was on segment RS such that

RV:VS = 1:2

and RV = y

then

RV+VS = RS

y+2y = 18

3y = 18

y = 6

RV = y = 6

VS = 2y = 2*6 = 12

So you'll move 6 units down from y = 7 to land on y = 1 (when going from the y coordinate of R to the y coordinate of Q)
