Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
In this technique, if we have to factorise an expression like ax2+bx+c, we need to think of 2 numbers such that:
N1⋅N2=a⋅c=1⋅−12=−12
AND
N1+N2=b=−1
After trying out a few numbers we get N1=3 and N2=−4
3⋅−4=−12, and 3+(−4)=−1
x2−x−12=x2−4x+3x−12
x(x−4)+3(x−4)=0
(x+3)(x−4)=0
Now we equate the factors to zero.
x+3=0,x=−3
x−4=0,x=4
The partial circles in each corner mean that all 3 angles are identical, which means this is an equatorial triangle. In an equatorial triangle all three sides are the same.
We can set two of the equations to equal each other and solve for x:
3x -5 = 2x +20
Add 5 to each side:
3x = 2x +25
Subtract 2x from each side:
x = 25
The linear form of that equation is y=1/4x+2. Your y-intercept should be 2 and the slope is 1/4.
Expand and simplify
(x-3) (x-3) +2(x-3) -8=0
(x-3+2)(x-3)-8=0
(x-1)(x-3)-8=0
x^2 -4x +3-8=0
x^2 - 4x -5=0
x^2 -5x +x-5=0
x(x-5)+x-5=0
(x+1)(x-5)=0
x= - 1, 5
