Well think about it this way -9 times what equals 252 you already know x is going to be a negative number because the outcome is positive so try doing the problem backwards 252/-9=-28 so x=-28
( - 8 + b )( - 4 - 3 ) = 0;
( - 8 + b )( - 7 ) = 0 ;
-8 + b = 0;
b = 8.
Answer:
D)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 -14x -72
0=x^2 - 14x-72
0=x^2 - 18x+4x-72
0=x(x-18)+4(x-18)
0=(x-18)(x+4)
x-18=0 or x+4=0
x1=18 or x2=-4
asis of symmetry: x=(x1+x2)/2
x=(18+(-4))/2
x=14/2
x=7
You divide everything by 2.
Your answer is
Y=1/2 + 3/2
