First consider (x+c)^2 where c is just a random constant. if we expand this by foil (which is distributive property twice), we get x^2 + 2cx+ c^2. we want to find c^2 and to do that, we can first find c. we can find c by looking at the 2cx term. this term should match with 12x, so therefore 2c = 12 so c = 6. this also implies that c^2 = 36.
note that for this problem i was working backwards which is a very powerful problem solving tool: start with what you want to attain, and then see how you can go from where you are now to get to your destination.
let me know if you have any questions!!!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, because of the end behaviour it means that the leading coefficient is negative so we can construct such polynomial function as below.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
15x + 3y = 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to solve for y.
isolate the variable.
15x + 3y = 10
start by subtracting 15x on both sides.
3y = -15x +10
then divide both sides by 3
y = -15/3x + 10/3
simplify.
y = -5x + 10/3
10/3 can be written as 3.33
or 3 and 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
360 - 126 =234
234 ÷3x
x = 78
