Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  The center lies on the vertical line x = -5 and the the circle is tangent to (touches in one place only) the y-axis.  Thus, the radius is 5.

2)  Starting with (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 and comparing this to the given

                     (x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 6^2

we see that h = 4, k = -3 and r = 6.  The center is at (4, -3) and the radius is 6.

3)  Notice that A and B have the same x-coordinate, x = 15.  The center of the circle is thus (15, -2), where that -2 is the halfway point between the two given points in the vertical direction.   Arbitrarily choose A(15, 4) as one point on the circle.  Then the equation of this circle is

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = r^2 = 6^2, where the 6 is one half of the vertical distance between A(15, 4) and B(15, -8) (which is 12).

Factor the trinomial f(x) = 2x² + 5x – 12 ?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

(x + 4)(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × -12 = - 24 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 8 and - 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 8x - 3x - 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4) ← factor out (x + 4) from each term

(x + 4)(2x - 3)

Thus

f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 4)(2x - 3) ← in factored form
