Answer: −(b+4)(2b−3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Factor out the negative sign.
−(2b^2+5b−12)
2. Split the second term in 2b^2+5b−12 into two terms.
−(2b^2+8b−3b−12)
3.Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
−(2b(b+4)−3(b+4))
4. Factor out the common term b+4b+4b+4.
−(b+4)(2b−3)

Answer: No
Step-by-step explanation: For x 0-2, the y is increasing by +5 every time. However, the moment it hits x=2, it starts decreasing by -5 every time. This means that it does not follow on set pattern (either +5 or -5) and looks more like a ^ than a /.
Open or closed? because if it's closed then the the answer is D
Answer:
x = - 4 , x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
- 7x = x^2 + 12
Take all terms to one side of equation.
x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0
Find which 2 numbers multiply to give 12 and add to give 7.
a × b = 12
a + b = 7
a = 4
b = 3
Split the middle term using these 2 numbers.
x^2 + 4x + 3x + 12 = 0
Factorise each pair of terms separately.
x ( x + 4 ) + 3 ( x + 4 ) = 0
Bring out common factor of ( x + 4 ) and factorise.
( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 0
Using the Null factor law, make the expressions in each pair of parentheses equal 0.
x + 4 = 0
x = - 4
AND
x + 3 = 0
x = - 3
THEREFORE:
x = - 4 , x = - 3
