Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
49x² + 28xy + 4y² ← is a perfect square of the form
(ax + by)² = a²x² + 2abxy + b²y²
49 = 7² ⇒ a = 7 and 4 = 2² ⇒ b = 2
2ab = 2 × 7 × 2 = 28
Hence
49x² + 28xy + 4y² = (7x + 2y)²
with factor 7x + 2y ⇒ C
Answer: The two roots are x = 3/2 and x = -2
=========================================================
Explanation:
You have the right idea so far. But the two numbers should be 3 and -4 since
The -1 being the coefficient of the x term.
This means you need to change the -3x and 4x to 3x and -4x respectively. The other inner boxes are correct.
---------
Refer to the diagram below to see one way to fill out the box method, and that helps determine the factorization.
If we place a 2x to the left of -2x^2, then we need an -x up top because 2x*(-x) = -2x^2
Then based on that outer 2x, we need a -2 up top over the -4x. That way we get 2x*(-2) = -4x
So we have the factor -x-2 along the top
The last thing missing is the -3 to the left of 3x. Note how -3*(-x) = 3x in the left corner and -3*(-2) = 6 in the lower right corner.
We have the factor 2x-3 along the left side.
---------
The two factors are (2x-3) and (-x-2) which leads to the factorization (x+3)(-x+2)
The last thing to do is set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x
- 2x-3 = 0 solves to x = 3/2 = 1.5
- -x-2 = 0 solves to x = -2
The two roots are x = 3/2 and x = -2

(x-4)^2+(y-0)^2=3^2 is the answer
