Answer: The value of a is -6.
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this we need to find the y-intercept first.
-2= 4(1/2) + b
-2=2+ b
-2 -2
b= -4 so now the y-intercept is -4 so we will now have the equation y= 1/2x -4
so now put -4 into the equation for x and solve for y.
y= 1/2(-4) -4
y = -6
You can factor (x^3 and 6x^2) and (-4x and -24).
So x^2(x+6) - 4(x+6)
(x^2-4)(x+6)
(x-2)(x+2)(x+6)
Answer:

False
Step-by-step explanation:

You substitute
for the second equation.

Then you have to distribute
.

Combine like terms.

Well the solution to this problem is x < -4
