Three points, A, B, and C exists in space such that B is "between" A and C. It is known that AB=7, BC=4, and AC=9. Are points A,

B, and C collinear? Give a written explanation, supported by mathematical evidence, for your answer.

If the points are collinear, then that would mean that the points lie on the same line when joined to each other. In order to confirm this, the distances between the points must sum up to the length of the line.<span>

AB + BC = AC
7 + 4 ? 9
11 ≠ 9

<span>Since they do not sum up, therefore, the points are not collinear.</span></span>

I’m assuming what you’re asking here is how to *factor* this expression. For that, let’s rearrange the expression into a more familiar form:

-c^2-4c+21

From here, we’ll factor out a -1 so that we have:

-(c^2+4c-21)

Let’s focus on the quadratic expression inside the parentheses. To find our factors (c + x)(c + y), we’ll need to find two terms x and y that multiply together to make -21 and add together to make 4. It turns out that the numbers -3 and 7 work out perfectly for that purpose (-3 x 7 = -21 and 7 + (-3) = 4), so substituting them in for x and y, we have:

(c + (-3))(c + 7)
(c - 3)(c + 7)

And adding back on the negative from a few steps earlier:

-(c - 3)(c + 7)
