1. Factorise the quadratic denominator.
2x2−7x−4=(2x+1)(x−4)
So
2x2−7x−45−4−x8=(2x+1)(x−4)5−4−x8.
2. Rewrite the second denominator so both fractions involve $x-4$.
Since 4−x=−(x−4),
−4−x8=−−(x−4)8=x−48.
Hence
(2x+1)(x−4)5−4−x8=(2x+1)(x−4)5+x−48.
3. Combine the fractions using a common denominator and simplify the numerator.
Common denominator: (2x+1)(x−4).
(2x+1)(x−4)5+x−48
=(2x+1)(x−4)5+(2x+1)(x−4)8(2x+1)
=(2x+1)(x−4)5+8(2x+1)
=(2x+1)(x−4)5+16x+8
=(2x+1)(x−4)16x+13.
答案(2x+1)(x−4)16x+13, where x=4,−21
