Q. Subtract.\newlineThe numerator should be expanded and simplified. The denominator should be either expanded or factored.\newline9x28x92x281= \frac{9}{x^{2}-8 x-9}-\frac{2}{x^{2}-81}=
  1. Factor the first fraction denominator: First, we need to factor the denominators of both fractions to identify common factors and simplify the expression.\newlineThe denominator of the first fraction is x28x9x^2 - 8x - 9. We look for two numbers that multiply to 9-9 and add to 8-8. The numbers 9-9 and +1+1 fit this requirement.\newlineSo, we can factor the denominator as (x9)(x+1)(x - 9)(x + 1).
  2. Factor the second fraction denominator: The denominator of the second fraction is x2x^2 with a division symbol, which seems to be a typographical error. We cannot proceed with the problem as given because the denominator of the second fraction is incomplete.
