Answer: (x-2)(x-2)</h3>
This is the same as 
============================================
Explanation:
The middle coefficient is -4 and the last term is 4.
We need to find factors of the last term that add to the middle coefficient.
Here is a list of all ways to multiply two integers to get 4, and the sum of each pair of factors.
- -1 + (-4) = -5
- -2 + (-2) = -4
- 2 + 2 = 4
- 1 + 4 = 5
The second row of that list above is what we're after. So
-2 + (-2) = -4
-2 * (-2) = 4
Meaning the factorization is (x-2)(x-2). Note the "-2" values in each factor
We can use the FOIL rule or distribution to go from (x-2)(x-2) back to x^2-4x+4 to confirm the answer.
Answer:
7/12
Explanation:
Here are the steps to follow:
Write down the factors for the numerator and the denominator.
Determine the largest factor that is common between the two.
Divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor.
Write down the reduced fraction.
If we plug x = 3 into the equation we have
7(3) - 7 = 14
and
2(3) + 8 = 14
So the answer is C
Answer:
y= 5/4x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey!
<u>Slope-Intercept Form</u> is y = mx + b, where <u>m</u> is the <u>slope</u> and <u>b</u> is the <u>y-intercept.</u>
First we can <em>locate the y-intercept</em>, or where the line passes through the y-axis.
The y-intercept is -2.
<em>Substitute </em>in the Slope-Intercept Form Equation:
y = mx -2
<u>Pick another point and substitute its x and y values in this equation.</u>
I chose (5,2) and substituted as 2 = m(5) -2
<em>Isolate </em>m:
<em>Add </em>2 to both sides <u>[Addition Property of Equality</u>]
2 + 2 = 5m - 2 + 2
4 = 5m
<em>Divide </em>by 5<em> </em>on both sides. [<u>Division Property of Equality</u>]
5m/5 = 4/5
m=4/5
<em>Substitute </em>in Slope-Intercept Form Equation.
<u><em>The Equation in Slope Intercept Form is y = 4/5x - 2</em></u>
