1. If \(x = \frac{a^2 + 3a - 4}{3a^2 - 3}\) and \(y = \frac{a^2 + 2a - 8}{2a^2 - 2a - 4}\), find the value of \(x^2 y^{-2}\).
Answer:
The value of \(x^2 y^{-2}\) is .
If a polynomial \(p(x) = x^2 - 5x - 14\) is divided by a polynomial \(q(x)\) we get \(\frac{x - 7}{x + 2}\), find \(q(x)\).
Answer:
The polynomial \(q(x)\) \(=\)
[Note: Enter the answer in the decreasing order of the variable.]
