Simplify the ration expression
start by seeing if anything in the numerator or denominator can be factored,
you should notice that you can factor out a 3 from 3x-6 in the numerator
when you do so, the result is
now, since there is an x-2 in the numerator and denominator, they "cancel" out since
however, only when
since
when you cancel out the x-2, you're left with 3
hence, your answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2x² + x - 3 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1
The factors are - 2 and + 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term
(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = -

Answer:
the y-intercepts differ
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-coefficient is the same for each function, so parallel lines are described. The function g(x) has a y-intercept of -4; f(x) has a y-intercept of 0.
The graphs differ in their intercepts.

<em>Additional comment</em>
g(x) can be considered to be a translation downward of f(x) by 4 units. The same graph of g(x) can be obtained by translating f(x) to the right by 2 units. That is, both the x-intercepts and y-intercepts differ between the two functions.
