First off, do a prime factoring of the constant and leading coefficient, namely 9 and 8 respectively.
so a prime factoring of 8 is 2*2*2, and a prime factoring of 9 is 3*3.
so, those are the factors... now, how do we produce products that gives us the middle coefficient +18?
well, let's see hmmmm 2 * 3 * 3 and 2 * 3....so that's 18 + 6, that's 24.. .so... no good is not 18, let's try again.
2*2*3 and 2 * 3, so that's 12 + 6, now, that's +18
so we'll use those, 2*2*3 and 2*3, or 4 * 3 an 2 * 3, (4x + 3)(2x + 3) = 0.
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve this by using 2 to open the bracket
(3+4)2 is the same as 2(3+4)
2(3)+2(4)
=6+8
=14
OR
(3+4)2 is the same as 2(3+4)
So we can solve the one inside the bracket first
=2(7)=14
The 6th term in the sequence should be 63
The line is leaning to the left, so the slope is negative, eliminate A and D
when x is 3, y is -2, so C is the correct answer
