Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
I did this problem.
Factor out the common term; 3
(3(x + 1))^2 = 36
Use the Multiplication Distributive Property; (xy)^a = x^ay^a
3^2(x + 1)^2 = 36
Simplify 3^2 to 9
9(x + 1)^2 = 36
Divide both sides by 9
(x + 1)^2 = 36/9
Simplify 36/9 to 4
(x + 1)^2 = 4
Take the square root of both sides
x + 1 = √4
Since 2 * 2 = 4, the square root of 2 is 2
x + 1 = 2
Break down the problem into these 2 equations
x + 1 = 2
x + 1 = -2
Solve the first equation; x + 1 = 2
x = 1
Solve the second equation; x + 1 = -2
x = -3
Collect all solutions;
<u>x = 1, -3</u>
Answer:
2c^2 - 2c - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Next time, please share the answer choices. Thank you.
Group together the 'c' terms in 2 + 7c – 4c2 – 3c + 4:
2 + 4c and -4c^2 + 4 Then we have:
-4c^2 + 4c + 6
We should reduce this by factoring -2 out of all three terms:
2c^2 - 2c - 3 This is the desired quadratic in standard form.
