1,8 is the mid point of these two numbers
The GCF of this polynomial is x^6y^3.
8x^6y^5 - 3x^8y^3 = x^6y^3 (8y^2 - 3x^2)
This polynomial cannot be factorized any further. Hope this helps!
Part A:

The first step of completing the square is writing the expression

as

which expands to

.
We have the first two terms exactly the same with the function we start with:

and

but we need to add/subtract from the last term, 49, to obtain 41.
So the second step is to subtract -8 from the expression

The function in completing the square form is

Part B:
The vertex is obtained by equating the expression in the bracket from part A to zero


It means the curve has a turning point at x = -7
This vertex is a minimum since the function will make a U-shape.
A quadratic function

can either make U-shape or ∩-shape depends on the value of the constant

that goes with

. When

is (+), the curve is U-shape. When

(-), the curve is ∩-shape
Part C:
The symmetry line of the curve will pass through the vertex, hence the symmetry line is

This function is shown in the diagram below
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 9 = 12 + 11x
Subtract 11x to both sides of the equation. Then, it will look like this:
-3x - 9 = 12
Add 9 to both sides of the equation. After that, it will look like this:
-3x = 21
Divide both sides of the eqution by -3. Your answer is:
x = -7
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 7, that would give you ⅜
