HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

Answer:

b/a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) / (x²-4x-12) = Q(x) + (x+6)/(x²-4x-12)

f(x) = Q(x)*(x²-4x-12) + (x+6)

x= - 2   ... when f(x) is f(-2)        x²-4x-12 = 4+8-12 = 0

a = f(-2) = Q(x)*0 + (-2 + 6) = 4

x= 6   ... when f(x) is f(6)        x²-4x-12 = 36-24-12 = 0

b = f(6) = Q(x)*0 + (6 + 6) = 12

b/a = 12/4 = 3
