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

Special Right Trianglws

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

x = $2\sqrt7$

y = $2\sqrt7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

This is a right isosceles triangle (45°-45°-90°). You can solve for the missing angle by simply subtracting 45° and 90° from 180° (sum of angles in a triangle equals 180°)

Since the triangle is isosceles, x and y are congruent because they are the legs opposite to the congruent angles.

In a right isosceles triangle, the hypotenuse is always the measure of one leg multiplied by $\sqrt2$ .

So, let's use leg y, $y\sqrt2 = 2\sqrt{14}$

Solve for y:

$y\sqrt2 = 2\sqrt{14}\\\\y = $\frac{2\sqrt{14}}{\sqrt2}$\\\\y = 2\sqrt7$

y = $2\sqrt7$ , which means that x is also $2\sqrt7$
