I like to reduce everything by half if I don't already know the answer.

It just so happens that is the reduced fraction.
All I did was halve 18, which is 9, and halve 34, which is 17.
Answer:
it is in answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a. a = 1, b = -5, c = -14
b. a = 1, b = -6, c = 9
c. a = -1, b = -1, c = -3
d. a = 1, b = 0, c = -1
e. a = 1, b = 0, c = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
a. x-ints at 7 and -2
this means that our quadratic equation must factor to:

FOIL:

Simplify:

a = 1, b = -5, c = -14
b. one x-int at 3
this means that the equation will factor to:

FOIL:

Simplify:

a = 1, b = -6, c = 9
c. no x-int and negative y must be less than 0
This means that our vertex must be below the x-axis and our parabola must point down
There are many equations for this, but one could be:

a = -1, b = -1, c = -3
d. one positive x-int, one negative x-int
We can use any x-intercepts, so let's just use -1 and 1
The equation will factor to:

This is a perfect square
FOIL:

a = 1, b = 0, c = -1
e. x-int at 
our equation will factor to:

This is also a perfect square
FOIL and you will get:

a = 1, b = 0, c = -3
I believe it would be 1.5 cm squared because 7.5/5 = 5
Answer:
a) 
b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
1. Distribute the second power (2) outside the first pair of parenthesis:

= 
2. Distribute the third power (3) outside the second pair of parenthesis:

= 
3. Combine like terms:

--------------------------------------------
b) 
1. Factor the number 6 (= 2 · 3):

2. Cancel the common factor (2):

3. Cancel out
in the numerator an denominator:
