a.

The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81

----------

The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.

w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9

================================================

b.

The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25

---------

Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.

If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)

Which graph shows a set of ordered pairs that represent a function?
Yuri [45]

Make XY tables for each option.

If any of the Tables have identical X numbers it is not a function.

The first option has two X's that re 2, so is not a function.

Second option has 2 x's that are 4's, so is not a function.

The third option has no repeating X values so is a function.

The fourth option has two -2's and two 0's so ids not a function.

The function is the third choice:

On a coordinate plane, solid circles appear at the following points: (negative 3, 2), (negative 2, 2), (0, 1), (1, 3), (2, negative 4), (4, negative 1).
