Answer 1

Answer:

In the operation, simplify

9-a² = (3-a)(3+a)

Factorize

4a²-4a-24-------------------divide each term by 4

a²-a-6-------------------------factorize

a²-3a+2a-6

a(a-3)+2(a-3)

(a+2)(a-3)

Factorize

a²-6a+9

a²-3a-3a+9

a(a-3)-3(a-3)

(a-3)(a-3)

Rewrite operation as

$\frac{8}{(3-a)(3+a)} /\frac{(a+2)(a-3)}{(a-3)(a-3)}$

Multiply by the recipricol

$\frac{8}{(3-a)(3+a)} *\frac{(a-3)(a-3)}{(a+2)(a-3)}$

cancel the similar terms

$\frac{8}{(3-a)(3+a)} *\frac{(a-3)}{(a+2)}$
