Factor completely x^2+9x+18 and Expand (a+3)^2

•   Factor x² + 9x + 18 completely:

In order to make the process easier, I'm going to try to find two integer numbers, so that

their sum is 9

their product is 18


Just search into the set of the divisors of 18

D(18) = {1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18}


Take the numbers 3 and 6, and you verify that

3 + 6 = 9          <span>✔
</span>
3 × 6 = 18          <span>✔
</span>

So, rewrite conveniently 9x as 3x + 6x, and then factor the quadratic polynomial by grouping:

x² + 9x + 18

= x² + 3x + 6x + 18

= x² + 3x + 6x + 6 · 3

= x · (x + 3) + 6 · (x + 3)

= (x + 3) · (x + 6)          ✔

and that is the complete factorization of x² + 9x + 18.

_______________


•   Expand (a + 3)²:

Just apply the distributive property of multiplication, and you have

(a + 3)²

= (a + 3) · (a + 3)

= (a + 3) · a + (a + 3) · 3

= a · a + 3 · a + a · 3 + 3 · 3

= a² + 3a + 3a + 3²

= a² + 6a + 9     <——<span>—</span>     this is the expanded form.


I hope this helps. =)

Write the equation of a line parallel to y=3x-8 that goes through the point (-4,7). Write the final answer in slope intercept fo
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

y = 3x + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x - 8 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes , thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 4, 7) into the partial equation

7 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = 7 + 12 = 19

y = 3x + 19 ← equation of parallel line

Consider the following quadratic equation: 25x2=36 Using the standard form ax2+bx+c=0 of the given quadratic equation, factor th
Stells [14]

Answer:

  (5x -6)(5x +6) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 36 to put the equation in standard form. In this form, it looks like the difference of squares, so can be factored as such.

  25x^2 -36 = 0

  (5x)^2 -6^2 = 0

  (5x -6)(5x +6) = 0

The length of a rectangle is 7 inches longer than it is wide. If the area is 44 square inches, what are the dimensions of the re
MatroZZZ [7]
Area = *Longer Side* x *Shorter side*

44 = (x + 7) * x
44 = x^2 + 7x
0 = x^2 + 7x - 44
0 = (x + 11)(x - 4)
0 = x + 11 OR 0 = x - 4
x = -11*impossible* OR x = 4
So x = 4
