Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the least common multiple of x² – 8x + 12 and x² – x – 2.  

on factoring both the terms separately:

x² – 8x + 12

=x²-6x-2x+12

=x(x-6)-2(x-6)

= (x-2)(x-6)

x² – x – 2

=x²-2x+x-2

=x(x-2)+1(x-2)

= (x-2)(x+1)

The factor (x-2) is common between them so we take it once

∴ LCM = (x-2)(x-6)(x+1)

Hence, least common multiple of x² – 8x + 12 and x² – x – 2 is:

(x-2)(x-6)(x+1)

Turn the information into coordinate points.

Point = (time, population)

Point 1 = (1985, 45000)
Point 2 = (2004 , 26000)

Find the slope between these points using the formula

( Slope)—> m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
26000-45000/2004-1985=-19000/19= -1000
