If you're not sure, begin by looking for any divisor that will divide into 24a^3c and 3a without leaving a remainder. Note that 3 is such a number, and a is another.
Factoring out 3a from 24a^3*c and 3a, we get 3a{8a^2*c, 1}
So the GCF is 3a.
Rates like $ per channel is a slope, "m". The added fee is a constant so it's the intercept "b".
y = mx + b
So for the first problem (9)
(a)
y = total cost in dollars
x = number of premium channels
y = 16x + 44
(b) when x = 3 channels
y = 16(3) + 44
y = 92 $
the second problem (10)
(a) every 4 years the tree grows by 12-9=3 ft
So the unit rate or slope will be 3 ft per 4 yrs, (3/4). You can see this also by solving for slope "m" using the given points (4,9) and (8,12).
x = number of years
y = height of tree in ft
y = (3/4)x + b
use one of the points to find the y-intercept "b".
9 = (3/4)(4) + b
9 = 3 + b
9 - 3 = b
6 = b
y = (3/4)x + 6
(b) when x = 16
y = (3/4)(16) + 6
y = 12 + 6
y = 18 ft
Angle QRT is an exterior angle to the triangle. The rule is that the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its remote interior angles. Those remote interior angles are angle RTS and angle TSR. So our equation is

. We can remove the parenthesis and simplify by combining like terms to get 9x = 5x + 9 + x and 9x = 6x + 9 and 3x = 9. That means that x = 3.
Answer:
y = 2(x - 2)² + 3 vertex form
y = 2x² - 8x + 11 standard form
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex form
y = a(x - h)² + k
(h, k) = (2, 3)
y = a(x - 2)² + 3
To find "a" plug in the y-intercept (0, 11)
11 = a(-2)² + 3
11 = 4a + 3
Subtract 3 from both sides
8 = 4a
a = 2
y = 2(x - 2)² + 3
Expand
y = 2(x² - 4x + 4) + 3
y = 2x² - 8x + 11
