Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

lets foil it and complete the square

x^2+4x-12x-48=9

Answer:

Choice d is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a  equation.

(x-12)(x+4) = 9

We have to find the solution using completing square technique.

Simplifying given given equation, we have

x²+4x-12x-48 = 9

Adding 48 to both sides of above equation, we have

x²-8x-48+48 =  9+48

x²-8x =  57

Adding the square of half of the term -8x to both sides of above equation, we have

x²-8x+(-4)² =  57+(-4)²

x²+2(1)(-4)+(-4)² =  57+16

(x-4)² = 73

Taking square root to both sides of above equation, we have

√(x-4)² = √73

x-4  = ±√73

Adding 4 to both sides of above equation, we have

x-4+4  =  ±√73+4

x  =  4±√73 which is the answer.

PLEASE HELPPP!!!!!! Write an equation of the line passing through point P that is perpendicular to the given line.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:(d): y=ax+b (a≠0); (d1)y=-4x+13

because of (d)⊥(d1) --> a.(-4)=-1 --> a=\frac{1}{4}

(d): y=\frac{1}{4}x+b. (d) pass through  P(-1;-2) so we have

-2=(1/4).(-1)+b ---> b=\frac{-7}{4}

(d) y= \frac{1}{4}x+ \frac{-7}{4}

What are the coordinates of the point (−1, 6) after a reflection across the x-axis?
Agata [3.3K]
The answer would be (-1,-6). Remember that the x-axis runs left to right and the y-axis runs up and down. Therefore, if you were to reflect it, just picture it being flipped over. If you go from (-1,+6) and you reflect it over the x-axis, both points are now in the bottom left quadrant where everything is negative. So, you get (-1,-6) The -1 doesn't change since it was already a -x value before and stayed in a negative area.
