The answer is c ellipse m is taller than ellipse n
You FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last)
If you FOIL, you should get 2y^2 - 4y + 4y^2 - 8y +12y -24
4x^2 = 100
x^2 = 25
x = + or - 5
x = 5 or x = -5
Hope this helps.
-144= -1×2a×3b
144=2a×3b
144= 6ab
24= ab
a,b could b any two factors that have a product of 24
For example a,b could = 6,4 or 8,3 or 24,1
Answer:
This question is tricky because it could have multiple answers: for example is a,b= 6,4 then a+b= 10, but if a,b=24+1=25. So, the answer is that the sum of a+b varies depending on which 2 factors of 24 a and b are equal to. Does this make sense?
