To factorise it start with putting the xs in brackets.
(x )(x )
Then you must find 2 numbers which multiply to +81 and sum to -18.
81 is the product of 9×9 or -9×-9.
9+9=+18
-9+-9=-18
So they two numbers must be -9.
So factorised it is (x-9)(x-9) or (x-9)^2

(x - 9)^2

Whenever dealing with a problem like this the first thing you should consider is a square in the last term. Factoring trinomials is always a guess and check procedure, but there are multiple tips to enhance and quicken your guessing. When the last term is a positive square, find the square root of it and double it. Chances are, that result will be the middle term. It is only a matter of addition of subtraction now. If the middle term is negative then it is a subtraction, and if the middle term is positive then vice versa. 

81 is a positive square and the square root is 9. By doubling it you get 18. The middle term is negative, so the binomial squared is (x - 9). Hope this helps!

In circle O, AD and BE are diameters. What is MAE?
liraira [26]

Answer:

132°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠AOB = ∠EOD = 3x ( vertical angles )

∠AOB + ∠BOC = 90, that is

3x + 0.5x + 34 = 90

3.5x + 34 = 90 ( subtract 34 from both sides )

3.5x = 56 ( divide both sides by 3.5 )

x = 16

∠AOE + ∠EOD = 180 ( straight angle )

∠AOE + 3x = 180

∠AOE + (3 × 16) = 180

∠AOE + 48 = 180 ( subtract 48 from both sides )

∠AOE = 132°
