Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the polynomials.
x^2-4 = (x+2)(x-2)
x^2+5x+6 = (x+3)(x+2)
(x^2-4)/(x^2+5x+6) = (x+2)(x-2)/[(x+3)(x+2)] = (x-2)/(x+3)
You have ratios 3:4, 4:3, 2:5 and 5:2. Each of these ratios is such that in total gives 7.
Divide segment AB in seven equal parts. Then:
- Point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B into a 3:4 ratio. This means that point P lies three such parts to the right from point A and four such parts to the left from point B.
- Point Q partitions the directed line segment from A to B into a 4:3 ratio. This means that point Q lies four such parts to the right from point A and three such parts to the left from point B.
- Point R partitions the directed line segment from A to B into a 2:5 ratio. This means that point R lies two such parts to the right from point A and five such parts to the left from point B.
- Point S partitions the directed line segment from A to B into a 5:2 ratio. This means that point S lies five such parts to the right from point A and two such parts to the left from point B.
As you can see the closest point to point B is point S, because it lies 2 parts to the left from point B and and this amount of parts is the smallest one.
Answer: correct choice is point S.
