To simplify this all you need to do is distribute the 4x across each term in the parenthesis
I did this in my math the other day and the answer is octagon
i think of it as this 'the more angles there are the larger the angles'
i hope i helped
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 12x + a = (x + b)²
x² - 12x + a = x² + 2xb + b²
-12 = 2b and a = b²
b = -6
a = b² = 36
Answer:
21 over 6 (21/6)
26 over 6 (26/6) =47 over 6 (47/6)
your final answer is 7 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 3x - 40 = 0
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 40) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)
The factors are - 8 and + 5, since
- 8 × 5 = - 40 and - 8 + 5 = - 3, thus
(x - 8)(x + 5) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = 8
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
------------------------------------------------------
Given
4x² - 81 = 0 ← this is a difference of squares and factors in general as
a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b), thus
4x² - 81
=(2x)² - 9²
= (2x + 9)(2x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
2x + 9 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 9 ⇒ x = - 
2x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 9 ⇒ x =
