[15 points]find the quotient with the restrictions. (x^2 - 2x - 3) (x^2 + 4x + 3) ÷ (x^2 + 2x - 8) (x^2 + 6x + 8)

Astudent draws two parabolas on graph paper. both parabolas cross the x-axis at (–4, 0) and (6, 0). the y-intercept of the first parabola is (0, –12). the y-intercept of the second parabola is (0, –24). what is the positive difference between the a values for the two functions that describe the parabolas? write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth
