Answer:

y = (x + 6)(x - 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 + 4x - 12

We need 2 numbers whose product is -12 and whose sum = +4.

These are + 6 and -2 so the factors are:

(x + 6)(x - 2).

Answer:

(x + 6)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is $y = x^2 + 4x - 12$ .

A quadratic equation can be factored in the form $(x - a) (x - b)$ where $-a$ and $-b$ will form the roots of the equation

Here the roots are $- 6$ and $2$ .

The factored form would simply be: $(x + 6) (x - 2) = 0$ .

Thus the answer.

You may use solve this problem by substituting the values as well. If everything goes wrong , go for Cramer’s rule

P(x) = x + 1x² – 34x + 343<br> d(x)= x + 9

Feliz [49]

Answer:

$x=\frac{9}{d-1},\:P=\frac{-297d+378}{\left(d-1\right)^2}+343$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us start by isolating x for dx = x + 9.

dx - x = x + 9 - x > dx - x = 9.

Factor out the common term of x > x(d - 1) = 9.

Now divide both sides by d - 1 > $\frac{x\left(d-1\right)}{d-1}=\frac{9}{d-1};\quad \:d\ne \:1$ . Go ahead and simplify.

$x=\frac{9}{d-1};\quad \:d\ne \:1$ .

Now, $\mathrm{For\:}P=x+1x^2-34x+343, \mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=\frac{9}{d-1}$ .

$P=\frac{9}{d-1}+1\cdot \left(\frac{9}{d-1}\right)^2-34\cdot \frac{9}{d-1}+343$ .

Group the like terms... $1\cdot \left(\frac{9}{d-1}\right)^2+\frac{9}{d-1}-34\cdot \frac{9}{d-1}+343$ .

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:\frac{9}{d-1}-34\cdot \frac{9}{d-1}=-33\cdot \frac{9}{d-1}$ > $1\cdot \left(\frac{9}{d-1}\right)^2-33\cdot \frac{9}{d-1}+343$ .

Now for $1\cdot \left(\frac{9}{d-1}\right)^2 > \mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}: \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^c=\frac{a^c}{b^c} > \frac{9^2}{\left(d-1\right)^2} = 1\cdot \frac{9^2}{\left(d-1\right)^2}$ .

$\mathrm{Multiply:}\:1\cdot \frac{9^2}{\left(d-1\right)^2}=\frac{9^2}{\left(d-1\right)^2}$ .

Now for $33\cdot \frac{9}{d-1} > \mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}: \:a\cdot \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:b}{c} > \frac{9\cdot \:33}{d-1} > \frac{297}{d-1}$ .

Thus we then get $\frac{9^2}{\left(d-1\right)^2}-\frac{297}{d-1}+343$ .

Now we want to combine fractions. $\frac{9^2}{\left(d-1\right)^2}-\frac{297}{d-1}$ .

$\mathrm{Compute\:an\:expression\:comprised\:of\:factors\:that\:appear\:either\:in\:}\left(d-1\right)^2\mathrm{\:or\:}d-1 > This\: is \:the\:LCM > \left(d-1\right)^2$

$\mathrm{For}\:\frac{297}{d-1}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:d-1 > \frac{297}{d-1}=\frac{297\left(d-1\right)}{\left(d-1\right)\left(d-1\right)}=\frac{297\left(d-1\right)}{\left(d-1\right)^2}$

$\frac{9^2}{\left(d-1\right)^2}-\frac{297\left(d-1\right)}{\left(d-1\right)^2} > \mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}> \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$\frac{9^2-297\left(d-1\right)}{\left(d-1\right)^2} > 9^2=81 > \frac{81-297\left(d-1\right)}{\left(d-1\right)^2}$ .

Expand $81-297\left(d-1\right) > -297\left(d-1\right) > \mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}: \:a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac$ .

$-297d-\left(-297\right)\cdot \:1 > \mathrm{Apply\:minus-plus\:rules} > -\left(-a\right)=a > -297d+297\cdot \:1$ .

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:297\cdot \:1=297 > -297d+297 > 81-297d+297 > \mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:81+297=378 > -297d+378 > \frac{-297d+378}{\left(d-1\right)^2}$

Therefore $P=\frac{-297d+378}{\left(d-1\right)^2}+343$ .

Hope this helps!
