<h3>
Answer: Choice A. x^2+9</h3>
This is a sum of squares, which cannot be factored over the real numbers. You'll need to involve complex numbers to be able to factor, though its likely your teacher hasn't covered that topic yet (though I could be mistaken and your teacher has mentioned it).
Choice B can be factored through the difference of squares rule. Therefore, choice B is not prime.
Choice C and D can be factored by pulling out the GCF and then use the difference of squares rule afterward. So we can rule out C and D as well.
Answer:
option 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Inequalities that use < or > symbols are plotted with a dashed line to show that the line is not included in the region. Inequalities that use ≤ or ≥ symbols are plotted with a solid line to show that the line is included in the region. For example, this graph shows the inequality .
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(2-4)/(0+2)=-2/2=-1
Answer:
Given f(x) = x2 + 3x – 1, find
a) f(1)
b) f(–1)
c) f(a)
d) f(x – 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) f(1) = (1)2 + 3(1) – 1 = 3
b) f(–1) = (–1)2 + 3(–1) – 1 = –3
c) f(a) = a2 + 3a – 1
d) f(x – 1) = (x – 1)2 + 3(x – 1) – 1
= x2 – 2x + 1 + 3x – 3 – 1 = x2 + x –3
