<h2>Steps:</h2>

So firstly, this function is asking us to divide f(x) by g(x) so let's set that up as such:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2-x-6}{1}\div \frac{x-3}{x+2}$

Next, remember that <u>dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.</u> To find the reciprocal of a number, flip the numerator and denominator around. With this info, flip the second fraction to it's reciprocal and change the sign to multiplication:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2-x-6}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Next, we are going to factor x² - x - 6. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -6x² and a sum of -x? That would be -3x and 2x. Replace -x with 2x - 3x:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2+2x-3x-6}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$
