x2 - 12x = -6
Your next step would be to add 36 to both sides.
x2 - 12x + 36 = 30
In completing the square, we divide the term before x by 2, and then square it and add it to both sides.
12 / 2 = 6
6^2 = 36
That would be the next step.
The option are missing in the question. The options are :
A. P = 2, a = 1
B. 
C. 
D. P = 2, a = 3
Solution :
The given function is 
So for the function to be an exponential growth, a should be a positive number and should be larger than 1. If it less than 1 or a fraction, then it is a decay. If the value of a is negative, then it would be between positive and negative alternately.
When the four option being substituted in the function, we get
A). It is a constant function since 
B). Here, the value of a is a fraction which is less than 1, so it is a decay function. 
C). It is a constant function since the value of a is 1.
D). Here a = 3. So substituting, as the value of x increases by 1, the value of the function, f(x) increases by 3 times.

Therefore, option (D). represents an exponential function.
To find an improper fraction, you want to do 18* 7 which equals, 126, so then 126+4=130. So then 130/7 would be your answer.
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation: if the signs are different subtract the values and take the sign of the larger number!
