Given the equation:
( k + 2) ( k -1 - 3) : -(k+2)
Simplify the ratio.
Solution:
Start by simplifying the values inside the parenthesis.
( k + 2) ( k -1 - 3) : -(k+2)
( k + 2) (k - 4) : -(k + 2)
Apply FOIL Method to the two equations.
=(k)(k)
= k^2
= (k)(-4)
= -4k
= (2)(k)
= 2k
= (2)(-4)
= - 8
= k^2 - 4k + 2k - 8
= k^2 - 2k - 8
k^2 - 2k - 8 : - k - 2
Final answer:
k^2 - 2k - 8 : - k - 2
