Explanation
As you can see all the possible answers have the same form:
By looking at the picture you'll notice that the graph of g(x) has to pass through the point (2,1). Remember that the points in the graph of g(x) have the form (x,g(x)). Since (2,1) is part of the graph of g(x) then we have the following:
So let's evaluate the expression for g(x) that we wrote before at x=2. This way we'll obtain an equation for the number a:
Then we can divide both sides by 4:
Then we get:
Answer
Then the answer is option A.
To factor completely 18b - 32, we factor out the common factor of the two terms and divide each of term by the common factor.
18b - 32 = 2(18b/2 - 32/2) = 2(9b - 16)
Im confused could you explain what the questions are better.
Simplifying the given expression, it is found that Curtis is correct.
<h3>How to simplify the expression?</h3>
The expression to be simplified is given by:
[4(10) - 3²] + 6(4)
The non-related operations can be solved first, hence:
[4(10) - 3²] + 6(4) = [40 - 9] + 24
For the square, we have to consider that:
- For -x², the negative is not part of the square, hence the result is negative, as - x*x = -x².
- For (-x)², the negative is part of the square, hence the result is positive, as (-x)*(-x) = x².
The first bullet point is the reason that -3² = 9. Then, the simplified expression is completed as follows:
[40 - 9] + 24 = 31 + 24 = 55.
Which means that Curtis is correct.
