The sum of a and b will be the coefficient of the x term of the trinomial. This can be seen below.
(x + a)(x + b)
= x² + bx + ax + ab
= x² + (a+b)x + ab
x is being multiplied by both a and b individually and the products are being added, so sum of a and b appears as the coefficient of x term.
Thus the answer to this question is option C
You put the answer as 2 already
Hello :
let :

calculate : x ......x <span>≠ -1
</span>





the inverse function is :

domain of : g is the range of : f
as an interval : ]-∞: 3 <span>[</span>U ]3;+∞[
1] y - 3x = -8
[2] y + 9x = 4
-3x + y = -8 9x + y = 4
Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = -9x + 4
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] (-9x+4) - 3x = -8
[1] - 12x = -12
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] 12x = 12
[1] x = 1
// By now we know this much :
y = -9x+4
x = 1
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = -9(1)+4 = -5
{y,x} = {-5,1}
√16=4
Hope i could help. -\(-_-)/-
