Because there are no parentheses, I'm assuming you're asking for how to factor this using the GCF, which can be done like so:
9−12x+6y
Factor a 3 out of this expression.
3(3 - 4x + 2y)
The expression has been simplified using the distributive property in reverse.
Answer:
<h3>
The width (side perpedicular to the barn):
<u>x = 8 m</u></h3><h3> The lenght (side parallel to the barn):
<u>y = 16 m</u> </h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
x - the width of the barn
She has 32 m of fencing so for the lenght remain (32-2x) m of fencing:
y = 32 - 2x
Area of the fencing: A = x•y
A(x) = x•(32 - 2x)
A(x) = -2x² + 32x ← quadratic function
The maximum value of quadratic function occurs at: 
a = -2, b = 32
32-2x = 32 - 2•8 = 16
Answer:
Option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Minimum value is going to be in the y part of our coordinate, so we can just look there. I went ahead and used a graphing calculator to make things easy.
Starting off with option 2, we can see the minimum is -10. And in option 4 we can see the smallest y value is -6.
Using a graphing calculator (I used desmos), we can graph these other functions and figure out their minimums.
Option 1's y minimum is -7, and Option 3's y minimum is -2.25.
Option 1: -7
Option 2: -10
Option 3: -2.25
Option 4: -6
The questions asks for the <em>smallest</em> minimum value, which in this case is option 2.
1m is equal to 100cm, so the scale reduces the size of the actual object
