Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
Given
3(x + 3)² - 1 = - 13 ( add 1 to both sides )
3(x + 3)² = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
(x + 3)² = - 4 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ±
= ± 2i ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ± 2i ← complex conjugate roots
(2)
Given
3x² - 12x + 27 = 0 ( subtract 27 from both sides )
3x² - 12x = - 27 ( divide through by 3 )
x² - 4x = - 9
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 = - 9 + 4
(x - 2)² = - 5 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 2 = ±
= ± i
( add 2 to both sides )
x = 2 ± i
← complex conjugate roots
Answer:
That is an improper fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
When the numerator (the top) is greater than the denominator (The bottom) then the fraction is improper

Answer:
Graph of quadratic opening downward and linear sloping up to the left. They intersect at point negative 3, negative 1 and point 1, negative 5
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

we can separate the expression above into two equations
----> equation A
This is a quadratic equation ( vertical parabola) open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)
----> equation B
This is a linear equation with negative slope (decreasing function).so linear sloping up to the left
The solution of the original expression are the x-coordinates of the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
The intersection points are (-3,-1) and (1,-5)
