Given expression is

Now we need to simplify this expression. We can begin by factoring numerator and denominator if possible.

divide numerator and denominator both by 2v


Hence final answer is 
Or you can also keep factored form

Do 4 1/4 - 1/4 which is easy, just take away the 1/4 and you get 4, so he used 1/4 gallons
Answer:
See the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the function f(x) = x² + 2x - 5
Zeros :
If f(x) = 0 i.e. x² + 2x - 5 = 0
The left hand side can not be factorized. Hence, use Sridhar Acharya formula and
and
⇒ x = -3.45 and 1.45
Y- intercept :
Putting x = 0, we get, f(x) = - 5, Hence, y-intercept is -5.
Maximum point :
Not defined
Minimum point:
The equation can be expressed as (x + 1)² = (y + 5)
This is an equation of parabola having the vertex at (-1,-5) and axis parallel to + y-axis
Therefore, the minimum point is (-1,-5)
Domain :
x can be any real number
Range:
f(x) ≥ - 6
Interval of increase:
Since this is a parabola having the vertex at (-1,-5) and axis parallel to + y-axis.
Therefore, interval of increase is +∞ > x > -1
Interval of decrease:
-∞ < x < -1
End behavior :
So, as x tends to +∞ , then f(x) tends to +∞
And as x tends to -∞, then f(x) tends to +∞. (Answer)
