2x +4)° 2x-9)°= 4x 2 +8x−9=3
Pull out like factors :
2x + 4 = 2 • (x + 2) (4 • (x + 2) • x) - 9
4x • (x + 2) - 9
Factoring 4x2+8x-9
The first term is, 4x2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, +8x its coefficient is 8 .
The last term, "the constant", is -9
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • -9 = -36
Step-2 : Find two factors of -36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 8 .
-36 + 1 = -35
-18 + 2 = -16
-12 + 3 = -9
-9 + 4 = -5
-6 + 6 = 0
-4 + 9 = 5
-3 + 12 = 9
-2 + 18 = 16
-1 + 36 = 35
x=3
First calculate the function of x-2y=6:
x-2y=6 | - x
-2y=6-x | ÷ (-2)
y=0.5x-3
Now you have the function. Because the slope you search is parallel to this one, the slope is the same (in this case 0.5). A slope of 0.5 means for 2 steps to the right go one up. To define the function you are searching you have to find out the y intercept. For this take your point (-2|4). Now go as many steps to the right until you reach the y intercept or x=0 in this case you need 2 steps. So for 2 steps right you go one up. Now you have the y intercept (5).
The resulting function is: f(x) = 0.5+6.
hope it helps u..........
B imakes the most sense so I agree it is b
