Answer:
(x - 9)(x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - x - 72
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 72) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 1)
the factors are - 9 and + 8, since
- 9 × 8 = - 72 and - 9 + 8 = - 1, thus
x² - x - 72 = (x - 9)(x + 8)
if you look at the part where the first part connects with the second part:
y = 5 if x < - 2
y = -2x + 1 if -2 ≤ x < 1
we don't have a discontinuity there, so there shouldn't be a dot.

What is wrong with the graph?</h3>
When we graph over intervals like (a, b) or [a, b] or something like that, we use dots to define the end of the intervals, and to denote that the function ends abruptly or we have a jump.
In this case, you can see that between the end and the second part and the beginning of the third part there is a jump, so the use of dots is correct there, but if you look at the part where the first part connects with the second part:
y = 5 if x < - 2
y = -2x + 1 if -2 ≤ x < 1
we don't have a discontinuity there, so there shouldn't be a dot.
That is the only error with the graph.

49.22 is greater than 49.20
Answer:
7^8 =5764801 * 7^3 =343 * 7^4 =2401 ÷ 7^9 = 40353607 * 7^5 =16807
5764801 *343 *2401 ÷ 40353607 *16807
=4747561509943 ÷ 678223072849 = 7
Putting both equations into standard form, we have the system
x -2y = 4
x -2y = -12
The lines these equations describe are
parallel.
