Answer:

This is because it is a quadratic equation.

It can therefore be solved using either factorization method or completing of squares method.

the factorization method has been worked above.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

For your first answer it is because they are two different ways to solve the equation

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

For Example!

<h2>Solution 1:</h2>

(x-4)² – 28 = 8The 8 is positive making it a different equation (this is like absolute value). (I am assuming you know the answer to the probelm)

<h2>Solution 2:</h2>

(x-4)² – 28 = -8

The 8 could be negative meaning that when you add the 28 to the right side it is -8+28 which will be a negative!

Apparently, we are to presume the cost of the pizza is proportional to its area. The ratio of areas is proportional to the square of the ratio of diameters. Hence we expect a 20" pizza to cost

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points. Let the points be A and B

A ( 8 , -2 ) ------> ( x1 , y1 )

B ( 12 , 4 ) ------> ( x2 , y2 )

Now, let's find the slope of the given points:

$slope \: = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

plug the values

$= \frac{4 - ( -2)}{12 - 8}$
