Rewrite the function by completing the square f(x) =4x2+12x+9

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 4x² + 12x + 9

The coefficient of the x² term must be 1 so factor out 4 from the first 2 terms

f(x) = 4(x² + 3x) + 9

To complete the square

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 3x

f(x) = 4(x² + 2(\frac{3}{2})x + \frac{9}{4} - \frac{9}{4}) + 9

     = 4(x + \frac{3}{2})² - 9 + 9

     = 4(x + \frac{3}{2})²

Thus

f(x) = 4x² + 12x + 9 = 4(x + \frac{3}{2})²

If x>2, then x^2-a-6 / x^2-4=
nadezda [96]
We know that x > 2 ( or : x ≠ +/- 2 )
We have to factorize the numerator and the denominator:
x² - x - 6 = x² - 3 x + 2 x - 6 = x ( x - 3 ) + 2 ( x - 3 ) = ( x - 3 ) ( x + 2 )
x ² - 4 = ( x - 2 ) ( x + 2 )
\frac{(x-3)(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}= \frac{x-3}{x-2}

Determine if the ordered pair (-5, -1) is a<br> solution of 2x - y =-11.
Marrrta [24]
No, when you plug is -5 for x and -1 for why, it ends up being -9 not -11. (-5,-1) is not a solution.
