Answer:3x² - 9x - 12 =
3(x² - 3x - 4) =
3(x² + x - 4x - 4) =
3(x(x+1)-4(x+1)) =
3(x+1)(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
x - price of a video tape
y - price of a DVD

<h3>Answer: video tape cost $19 and DVD cost $32.</h3>
Separate the variables:

Separate the left side into partial fractions. We want coefficients a and b such that





So we have

Integrating both sides yields






With the initial condition y(0) = 1, we find

so that the particular solution is

It's not too hard to solve explicitly for y; notice that

Then






One milion is 1000 thousand or 1,000,000
so million:one is 1,000,000:1
1/2 of 2 is 1 .
1/2 of 3 is (1 and 1/2).
1/2 of 4 is 2 .
