$The\ slope-point\ form:y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\The\ slope-intercept\ form:y=mx+b\\--------------------\\m=-3;\ (4;\ 4)\to x_1=4\ and\ y_1=4\\\\\boxed{y-4=-3(x-4)}\\\\y-4=-3x+12\ \ \ |add\ 4\ to\ both\ sides\\\boxed{y=-3x+16}$

Which shows one way to determine the factors of x3 – 9x2 + 5x – 45 by grouping?

Valentin [98]

Factoring by grouping usually pairs up the first 2 sets of expressions with the second 2 sets. Ours looks like this, then: $(x^3-9x^2)+(5x-45)=0$ . If we factor out the common x-squared in the first set of parenthesis, along with factoring out the common 5 in the second set, we get this: $x^2(x-9)+5(x-9)$ . Now the common expression that can be factored out is the (x-9). When we do that, here's what it looks like: $(x-9)(x^2+5)$ . I'm not sure how far you are going with this. You could set each of those equal to 0 and solve for x in each case. The first one is easy. If x - 9 = 0, then x = 9. The second one involves the imaginary i since x^2 = -5. In that case, $x=i \sqrt{5},-i \sqrt{5}$ . Hopefully, in what I have given you, you can find what you're looking for.
