Answer:

<em>The correct option is:  c. Prime</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:   x^2 -8x-12

First we will take each given option and simplify them using FOIL method to see if we get the original given expression. So.....

a.\ \ \ (x-6)(x+2)\\ \\ =x^2+2x-6x-12\\ \\ =x^2-4x-12\\ \\ \\ b.\ \ \ (x+3)(x-4)\\ \\ =x^2-4x+3x-12\\ \\ =x^2-x-12\\ \\ \\ d.\ \ \ (x+6)(x-2)\\ \\ =x^2-2x+6x-12\\ \\ =x^2+4x-12

We can see that options a, b\ and\ d doesn't give the original given expression.

So, the expression x^2 -8x-12 is Prime.

The population of a town can be modeled by P= 22,000 + 125t, where P represents the population and the t represents the number o
nlexa [21]
Given that the population can be modeled by P=22000+125t, to get the number of years after which the population will be 26000, we proceed as follows:
P=26000
substituting this in the model we get:
26000=22000+125t
solving for t we get:
t=4000/125
t=32
therefore t=32 years
This means it will take 32 years for the population to be 32 years. Thus the year in the year 2032
