x^2+4x-12
(x+6)(x-2)

First, move all the terms to one side
x^2+4x-4-8=0
Then, simplify.
x^2+4x-12=0
After that, factor. Ask yourself: Which two numbers add up to 4 and multiply to -12? That would be -2 and 6. Then, rewrite the expression.
(x-2)(x+6)=0
Lastly, solve for x. 
x=2, -6
Your final answer would be x = -6 or x = 2

Which of the following could not be true for a function?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

C) Domain is {2}, Range is {2, 3}

For oil

3/6 * 42 = 21 parts of oil

For Soy sauce

= 2/6 * 42 = 14 parts soy sauce

For Orange

Image point B (4,-8) was transformed using the translation (x-2,y+3) what were the coordinates of B?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
The coordinates of the image point are given to be B(4, -8). We are to find the coordinates of pre-image that is the coordinates before the translation.

The translation made was (x-2, y+3) 

This means, the x coordinate was moved 2 units to left and y coordinate was moved 3 units above. 

So, the coordinates of original point will be, 2 units to right of B and 3 units down of B.

So the coordinates will be (6, -11)

Find the area please and will make brainliest
puteri [66]
To find the area of the trapezoid, we only need the quantities a1 (long base), a2(short base) and h(height).

Area=(1/2)(a1+a2)*h
=(1/2)(9.9+4.7)(5.6)
=40.88 mm &sup2;

Not sure what's expected to give for "type".  Perhaps trapezoid or trapezium.
