It factors to (x+12)(x-12)
This is the same as (x-12)(x+12) as we can multiply two expressions in any order we want. This is like saying 7*5 is the same as 5*7
I used the difference of squares rule to factor x^2 - 144. It might help to write x^2 - 144 as x^2 - 12^2, then compare it to a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
Y is directly proportional to x and therefore takes the form y=kx where k is the constant of proportionality.
Dividing both sides by x for the given values, k becomes 18/4 = 4.5
Answer:
1/2 IN FRACTION FORM
0.5 IN DECIMAL FORM
Step-by-step explanation:
An absolute value of any number cannot result in a negative number.
There are no possible points where |x| can equal -5.
