Answer:

The difference between the two are the signs. -4^2 = 16 because it means -4 x -4 = 16 while (-4)^2= 16 they get the same answer but the signs and the form of operations is different

Ax + by = c

Ax + by (- Ax) = c (-Ax)

by = c - Ax

by/b = (c - Ax)/b

y = (c - Ax)/b

hope this helps :D

What is the graph of the function f(x) = the quantity of x squared plus 4 x minus 12, all over x plus 6?

LenaWriter [7]

X^2 + 4x -12 = (x+6)(x-2)

so
(x+6)(x-2)
---------------- = x - 2
x + 6

f(x) = x -2

answer is B.

because
if x = -6
then y = -6 - 2 = -8

(-6,-8) is the order pair
