Answer:
3u(u - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
greatest common factor: 3u (both are divisible by 3, and include the variable u)
factor: 3u^2/3u = u; -6u/3u = 2
new polynomial: 3u(u - 2)
First find the slope of the line = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where the 2 points are (x1, y1 and (x2, t2).
Then substitute the values of the slope (m) and one of the points into the point-slope formula
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
8(number of soup) times 3 =x (number of vegetable cans)
Standard form of a quadratic f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
In a quadratic function you find the vertex using the formula x = -b/2a; once you find the x value, substitute it into the equation and solve for y.
To know if a parabola opens up or down you look at the coefficient of the x^2 term. If it is positive, the graph opens up; if it is negative, the graph opens down.
