Factor x2 -12x + 36

Mathematics
1 answer:
zhannawk [14.2K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  (x -6)²

Step-by-step explanation:

It is worth remembering the form of the square of a binomial:

  (a +b)² = a² +2ab +b²

Note that if "a" and "b" have different signs, the middle term will be negative.

In your case, the square root of the constant is half the magnitude of the x-coefficient, so the trinomial you have is a perfect square. Since you just found √36 = 6, and the sign of 12 tells you the terms have different signs, you know the answer is ...

  x² -12x +36 = (x -6)²

_____

Of course, you recognize (x +6)(x -6) as the factoring of the difference of squares ...

   x² -6² = x² -36

which is not what you have.

2y+3x=90 what is x and y
yan [13]

If x=-6 then y=54.
If x=-4 then y=51.
If x=-2 then y=48.
If x=0 then y=45.
If x=2 then y=42.
If x=4 then y=39.
If x=6 then y=36.

There are an infinite variety of pairs of numbers for 'x' and 'y'
that can make that equation true.

You can use that equation to draw a  line on a graph.  Then
EVERY point on the line is a solution to the equation.

'x' and 'y' don't have single values unless you have TWO equations.

Which of these relationships would most likely have a NEGATIVE correlation?
Luda [366]
<h3>Answer:  Choice C</h3>

Explanation:

As the person spends more time raking, the number of leaves will go down. Therefore, we have a negative correlation. Such correlations occur when one variable goes up while the other goes down (and vice versa).

The reason why it's considered negative correlation is because the regression line has a negative slope.

This is why choice C is the answer. This assumes that no extra leaves fall on the ground, and we assume that we don't have nearby leaves blow into the yard.

In contrast, something like choice A has both variables go up together. As the temperature rises, so does the ice cream sales. The same goes for choice B. We consider these cases to have positive correlation. Choice D doesn't appear to have any correlation at all. The person's height doesn't have any connection to the number of pets they may have.

What does it mean to analyze a graph and write a story for a function? Explain and give an example.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To analyse a graph you are meant to determine a general trend, relating the results of an experiment to the hypothesis as well as to form. For example you look at all the values in a line graph and you are yo predict one you are to find its common increase or decrease.

If all possible vertical lines will only cross the relation in one place, then the relation is a function.This works because if a vertical line crosses a relation in more than one place it means that there must be two y values corresponding to one x value in that relation.
