Factor out a 6

6 / 6x^2 = x^2
6 / -12x = -2x
6 / -18 = -3

6(x^2 - 2x - 3)

Multiply the first term to the last
1 x -3 = -3

(a x b) = -3
(a + b) = -2 (middle term)

(1 x -3) = -3
(1 + -3) = -2

Plug them in by replacing -2x and simplify

6(x^2 - 1x - 3x - 3)
6((x^2 - 1x) - (3x - 3))
6(x(x - 1) - 3(x - 1))
6(x - 3)(x - 1)

Or in this case, 6(x - 1)(x - 3)

Line t passes through points (10, 1) and (2, 6). Line u is perpendicular to t. What is the slope of line u?

diamong [38]

Let's find the slope for line t first.

We can use the given points 2,6 and 10,1 to find the slope using the slope formula.

$\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m$

1 - 6 / 10 - 2

-5/8

The slope is -5/8.

Because we know the slope of this line, we can find the slope of the next line instantly, as they are perpendicular.

When a slope is perpendicular to another, it is equal to the negative reciprocal.

Negative reciprocal of -5/8 = 8/5

<h3>The slope of line u is 8/5</h3>

How to find maximum and minimum values of a parabola

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding max/min: There are two ways to find the absolute maximum/minimum value for f(x) = ax2 + bx + c: Put the quadratic in standard form f(x) = a(x − h)2 + k, and the absolute maximum/minimum value is k and it occurs at x = h. If a > 0, then the parabola opens up, and it is a minimum functional value of f.
