Two students, Jennifer and Jamal, factored the trinomial 6x2 − 3x − 9. Jamal factored it as 3(2x − 3)(x + 1) and Jennifer factor

ed it as (2x − 3)(3x + 3). Indicate which student factored the trinomial completely and which student did not, and explain why.

Jamal factored it completely.

in Jennifer's answer, 3x+3 has a common factor of 3 which can be factored to become 3(x+1) which is what Jamal did.

SOLVING FOR X

<u>Reduce</u><u> </u><u>first</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>fraction</u><u> </u><u>with</u><u> </u><u>9</u>

$\large \sf = \dfrac{x}{9} = \dfrac{ \cancel9}{ \cancel{27}}$

The functions f(x) = −(x − 1)2 5 and g(x) = (x 2)2 − 3 have been rewritten using the completing-the-square method. apply your kn

The vertex of the function f(x) exists (1, 5), the vertex of the function g(x) exists (-2, -3), and the vertex of the function f(x) exists maximum and the vertex of the function g(x) exists minimum.

<h3>How to determine the vertex for each function is a minimum or a maximum? </h3>

Given:

$\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=-(\mathrm{x}-1)^{2}+5$ and

$\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x})=(\mathrm{x}-2)^{2}-3$

The generalized equation of a parabola in the vertex form exists

$$y=a(x-h)^{2}+k$

Vertex of the function f(x) exists (1, 5).

Vertex of the function g(x) exists (-2, -3).

Now, if (a > 0) then the vertex of the function exists minimum, and if (a < 0) then the vertex of the function exists maximum.

The vertex of the function f(x) exists at a maximum and the vertex of the function g(x) exists at a minimum.

To learn more about the vertex of the function refer to:

Express f(x) = |x-2| +|x+2| in the non-modulus form. Hence, sketch the graph of f.

alexgriva [62]

Recall that

$|x|=\begin{cases}x&\text{if }x\ge0\\-x&\text{if }x$

There are three cases to consider:

(1) When $x+2$ , we have $|x+2|=-(x+2)$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)-(x+2)=-2x-4$

(2) When $x+2\ge0$ and $x-2$ , we get $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)+(x+2)=4$

(3) When $x-2\ge0$ , we have $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=x-2$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=(x-2)+(x+2)=2x$

So

$|x-2|+|x+2|=\begin{cases}-2x-4&\text{if }x$
