<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:
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:
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:
Next, factor x² + 2x and -3x - 6 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:
Now you can rewrite it as:
Next, multiply:
Next, divide:
And lastly, simplify:
- A good tip:
<h2>Answer:</h2>
<u>The correct option is C. x² + 4x + 4.</u>
The slope of the line is the gradient, which you can find through rise over run
m (gradient) = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
where (x1, y1) is the coordinate of the first point, and (x2, x2) is the coordinate of the second point
in your question:
x1 = -4
x2 = 19
y1 = -13
y2 = 11
m = (-13 -11) / (-4 -19) = -24 / -23 = 24/23 or 1.04 (2d.p.)
hope that helps :)

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
LCD(1/3, 3/4) = 12
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.
(13×44)+(34×33)=?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
4/12+9/12=?
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.
Then:
4+9/12=13/12
This fraction cannot be reduced.
The fraction
13/12
is the same as
13÷12
Convert to a mixed number using
long division for 13 ÷ 12 = 1R1, so
1312=1 1/12
Therefore:
13+34=1 11/2
The y-intercept of the trend line is (0,28). The slope of this line is
28-0
m = --------- = 2
14-0
Thus, the equation of the trend line, in variables K and J, is
K = 2J + 28
