Find the Quotient of the Two Functions f(x)=x^2-4x+3 , g(x)=x-3

$f (x) = x^{2} - 4 x + 3$ , $g (x) = x - 3$

Step 1

Replace the function designators with the actual functions in $\frac{f (x)}{g (x)}$ .

$\frac{x^{2} - 4 x + 3}{x - 3}$

Step 2

Simplify.

Factor $x^{2} - 4 x + 3$ using the AC method.

Consider the form $x^{2} + b x + c$ . Find a pair of integers whose product is $c$ and whose sum is $b$ . In this case, whose product is $3$ and whose sum is $- 4$ .

$- 3, - 1$

Write the factored form using these integers.

$\frac{(x - 3) (x - 1)}{x - 3}$

Cancel the common factor of $x - 3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{(x - 3) (x - 1)}{x - 3}$

Divide $x - 1$ by $1$ .

$x - 1$
