Factorise: X squared - 16​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: x² - 16

= x² - 4²

= (x+4)(x- 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

You know it has to be x squared so in the first part of your brackets it would be an x.... (x    )(x    ). Then you have to find out what times what is 16... in this case it is 4... (x    4)(x    4). Next you have to know the rules regarding negatives and positive... if you know that, you should be able to work out that it would be (x-4)(x+4)... you can check this using the foil method (x times x, x times 4, -4 times x and -4 times 4) or smiley face method... hope this helpedFactorised means put into brackets...

alex41 [277]
The function you're given is in point-slope format, which is one of the easiest ones to graph. The basic form of the format is;

y=ax+b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

As you can see, in y=-13+3x, the positions of a and b are switched, but it is essentially the same question.

From here we can tell that the y-intercept is -13, meaning that there is a point on the line that rests at (0,-13)

To find the other points, we can do rise-over-run using the slope of 3 given to us. What happens here is that for every 1 unit you go to the right (positive), you rise 3 units up.

For example, if we perform this on the y-intercept (0,-13):

(0+1, -13+3)
(1,-10)

With these two points, you can graph the line representing the temperature.
