We are asked to simplify the expression .
That's exactly what we need to do - combine like terms.
So, we subtract:
Which gives us:
Hope it helps you out! :D

To show that the ratio is not constant for the function
we only need to evaluate this function at 2 points and then show that the ratio is not the same for those two points. Note that here
represents
.
To find the counter examples here, I will use the values and
. For
, the equation tells us that the output is
. For this value of
the point is point is
. The ratio
. For the
,
. For this value of
the point is
. The ratio
. Clearly this ratio is not constant for all ordered pairs.
