The correct factorization is (p + 16)(p + 2).
You can find this by looking for factors of the final number that add up to the middle number. Factors of the final number are listed below:
1 * 32
-1 * -32
2 * 16
-2 * -16
4 * 8
-4 * -8
Now you select the one that adds to 18, which would be the highlighted 2 and 16. Now we use these in parenthesis with a p + in the front of it.
(p + 2)(p + 16)
This will be the correct factored form.
X equals 6
hope this helps just plug in the y value int the equation and solve
Answer:
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the max points we need to take the derivative of the function and then find the critical values.
First we take the derivative:

Now we need to find when f'(x)=0 to find the critical values.

The critical values will be
for any integer n
between 0 and 2 pi, the critical values will be

We can determine if these are minimums or maximums by using the second derivative test.
So we need to take the second derivative;

We need to see if the second derivative is positive or negative to determine if it is a max or min.

Since the second derivative is negative at
and 
we know both of those are the x-values of maximums.
A) Y1-Y2/X1-X2
9-4/8-(-2) = 5/10= 1/2
b) 1/2x+b=y <-- plug in a point
1/2(-2)+b=4 <--plugged in (-2,4)
-1+b=4 <-- simplify/solve
b=5
c) 1/2x+5=y
