6 0

Answer:

(2x - 3)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² - 9

This is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

4x² = (2x)² ⇒ a = 2x

9 = 3² ⇒ b = 3, thus

4x² - 9 = (2x - 3)(2x + 3) ← in factored form

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

c) parabola and circle: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 times

d) parabola and hyperbola: 1, 2, 3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

c. A parabola can miss a circle, be tangent to it in 1 or 2 places, intersect it 2 places and be tangent at a 3rd, or intersect in 4 places.

d. A parabola must intersect a hyperbola in at least one place, but cannot intersect in more than 3 places. If the parabola is tangent to the hyperbola, the number of intersections will be 2.

If the parabola or the hyperbola are "off-axis", then the number of intersections may be 0 or 4 as well. Those cases seem to be excluded in this problem statement.
