Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation to put it into standard form:
3x² +8x -12 = 0
Then identify the a, b, c of this form:
ax² +bx +c = 0
You see that a=3, b=8, c=-12.
Now use those values in the quadratic formula for the solutions:

<em>Comment on the squaring</em>
There are several ways you can find the square (x+4)².
- Use your knowledge that (x+a)² = x²+2ax+a².
- Use FOIL* to compute (x+4)(x+4) = x² +4x +4x +4² = x²+8x+16
- Use the distributive property: (x+4)(x+4) = x(x+4) +4(x+4) = x² +4x +4x +4² (same as FOIL for two binomials)
__
* FOIL is mnemonic for {First, Outer, Inner, Last} referring to pairs of terms in the factors (x +a)(x +b). The x terms are the First terms. The Outer terms are the first x and b. The Inner terms are "a" and the second x. The Last terms are "a" and "b". You are to form the sum of those pairs of terms to find the product of the binomials.
Answer:
12 (or A)
Step-by-step explanation:
A coefficient is the number before a variable.
Examples: 5r , 34y, 10x^2 (the coefficients are 5, 34, and 10)
12 has a variable after it, so 12 is a coefficient.
The relation is <em>not a function</em> if any x-value is repeated.
Assuming you have
(x, y) = (3, 10), (__, 20)
if x = 3, the relation is not a function.
