Answer 2

sup izanagi are you enjoying persona 4 the anime

Answer 3

yep

Answer 4

Factorise the numerator to (4a+3)(2a-1). The (2a-1) then cancels, leaving 4a+3, which is the equation of a straight line.

Answer 5

how did you figure out (4a+3)(2a-1)

Answer 6

I guessed that one of the factors of the quadratic was (2a-1) then figured out what you have to multiply by (2a-1) to get 8a^2+2a-3.

Answer 7

It doesn't always work like that, but you should think what the objective of the queestion actually is; it's almost like working backwards to get the answer.

Answer 8

(4a+3)
