Answer

$\left(\frac{g}{h}\right)(x) = \dfrac{(x - 2)(x + 2)}{2(2x - 3)}$

Work Step by Step

Divide $g(x)$ by $h(x)$: $\left(\frac{g}{h}\right)(x) = \dfrac{x^2 - 4}{4x - 6}$ Factor the numerator by using the difference of two squares formula: $x^2 - 4 = (x - 2)(x + 2)$ Factor the denominator by factoring out $2$ as the greatest common factor of the two terms: $4x - 6 = 2(2x - 3)$ Put the two expressions back into fraction form: $\left(\frac{g}{h}\right)(x) = \dfrac{(x - 2)(x + 2)}{2(2x - 3)}$
