Answer:

3(x + 3)(3x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9x² + 21x - 18 ← factor out 3 from each term

= 3(3x² + 7x - 6) ← factor the quadratic

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 = 3 × - 6 = - 18 and sum = + 7

The factors are + 9 and - 2

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² + 9x - 2x - 6 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

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

(x + 3)(3x - 2)

Then

9x² + 21x - 18 = 3(x + 3)(3x - 2) ← in factored form

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (4,-3)(4,−3) and is perpendicular to the line 4x+y=34x+y=3?

zlopas [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other: m1 * m2 = –1

4x+ y= 3

y= -4x + 3

slope = -4

the new slope = 1/4

the equation formula y= mx+b

m = new slope

y = (x/4) + b

From the point given (4,-3)

y = -3. x = 4

-3 = 1 + b

b = -4

the equation =

$y = \frac{1}{4} x - 4$

The measurements 45.367 cm and 43.43 cm are made in the same unit of measure. Which measurement is less precise? Explain your an

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

45.367 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Approximating to a more number of decimal places gives a better estimation of the exact value.

For 45.367 cm, we approximated to three decimal places or five significant figures.

For 43.43 cm, the approximation is done to four decimal places.

Therefore the measurement 45.367cm is more precise because it has a relatively smaller error.
