value of x is: $x=\frac{-31}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation f(x)=g(x)

where $f(x)=(\frac{1}{2})^2-3$

and $g(x) = 3x + 5$

Solving to find f(x)=g(x)

Putting values of f(x) and g(x)

$f(x)=g(x)\\(\frac{1}{2})^2-3=3x + 5\\\frac{1}{4}-3=3x + 5\\Subtarct\,\,5\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\\frac{1}{4}-3-5=3x + 5-5\\\frac{1}{4}-8=3x\\Taking\,\,LCm\,\,on\,\,left\,\,side\\\frac{1-8*4}{4}=3x\\\frac{-31}{4}=3x\\Divide\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,3\\x=\frac{-31}{4*3}\\x=\frac{-31}{12}$

So, value of x is: $x=\frac{-31}{12}$

The graph will be a straight line x= -2.58 or x = -31/12

$9 x^4 y^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the Exponent Law:

$a^m \times a^n = a^{m +n}$

Solution:

$3x^2y^3 \times 3x^2y^3 \\ ( 3 \times 3 )x^{2 +2} y^{3 +3} \\ 9 x^4 y^6$

The difference of two squares factoring pattern states that a difference of two squares can be factored as follows:

$a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)$

So, whenever you recognize the two terms of a subtraction to be two squares, you can factor it as the sum of the roots multiplied by the difference of the roots.

In this case, the squares are obvious: $(x+2)^2$ is the square of $x+2$ , and $(y+2)^2$ is the square of $y+2$
