First move the 13 to the left by subtracting 13 from both sides and setting the 'now expression' equal to zero

p² - 12p - 13

Do the opposite of FOIL (for you are trying to find the numbers being FOILed)

p² - 12p - 13

Find the multiplies of the outside numbers/variables, that, when added (or subtracted, will give you the inside expression

p² - 12p - 13
p             -13
p               1

(p - 13)(p + 1)

Set these two expressions equal to zero

p - 13 = 0
p - 13 (+13) = 0 (+13)
p = 13

p + 1 = 0
p + 1 (-1) = 0 (-1)
p = -1


Your answers: p = -1, 13

Answer:

m∠RPQ = 8°

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠QRS = 4x - 15

m∠RPQ = x + 1

m∠PQR = x - 2

m∠QRS is exterior angle and m∠RPQ and m∠PQr are opposite interior angles to m∠QRS

m∠QRS = m∠RPQ + m∠PQR      {Exterior angle property of triangle}

4x - 15 = x +1 + x - 2

4x - 15 = x + x + 1-2          {Combine like terms}

4x - 15 = 2x - 1        {Subtract 2x from both sides}

4x - 2x - 15 = - 1

2x - 15 = - 1                  {Add 15 to both sides}

2x = -1 + 15

2x = 14          {Divide both sides by 2}

x = 14/2

x = 7

m∠RPQ = x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8°

Alex says that the function f(x) = (3x)2 represents a vertical stretch of the quadratic parent function by a factor of 3. Marta
gavmur [86]

Our parent function is f(x)=x^2. A vertical stretch by a factor of k means that every point (x,f(x)), has been transformed into (x,kf(x)). Alex is clearly incorrect as our parent function has been transformed to (x,9f(x)), not (x,3f(x)). A horizontal stretch(or compression) by a factor of k means our function has been transformed to (x/k,f(x)). Here, Marta is saying our function should look like (3x,f(x)). This can also be achieved by plugging 3x into the parent function, which would give us f(3x)=(3x)^2, so it seems that Marta is the correct one.
