The trick here is to notice that all 3 terms can be div. by 2:
2(x^2 + x - 12)
Note that -12 factors into -3 * 4 or -4 * 3. Thus,
x^2 + x - 12 = (x-4)(x+3), and so <span>2x2 + 2x − 24 = 2(x-4)(x+3).</span>
13/3= 4.25 because.....
13-12 is 1.
SO:
When you have your problem set up, you have 4, and then a 1 left over. You turn it into a fraction.
Make 4 and 1/4, then put it as a mixed number, 4 1/4
or you can keep dividing by adding a decimal then zeroes and keep solving until you get 4.25 which is equivalent to 4 1/4

Answer:
(x +6)^2 +(y -10)^2 = 225
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form equation for a circle is ...
(x -h)^2 + (y -k)^2 = r^2
where the center is (h, k) and the radius is r.
The center of a circle is the midpoint of any diameter. The midpoint between two points is the average of their coordinates.
((-15, -2) +(3, 22))/2 = (-15+3, -2+22)/2 = (-6, 10)
The radius can be found using the distance formula, or by simply putting one of the given points in the equation for the circle to see what the constant (r^2) needs to be.
(x -(-6))^2 +(y -10)^2 = (-15-(-6))^2 +(-2-10)^2
(x +6)^2 +(y -10)^2 = 81 +144 = 225
The equation of the circle is ...
(x +6)^2 +(y -10)^2 = 225
