First consider (x+c)^2 where c is just a random constant. if we expand this by foil (which is distributive property twice), we get x^2 + 2cx+ c^2. we want to find c^2 and to do that, we can first find c. we can find c by looking at the 2cx term. this term should match with 12x, so therefore 2c = 12 so c = 6. this also implies that c^2 = 36.
note that for this problem i was working backwards which is a very powerful problem solving tool: start with what you want to attain, and then see how you can go from where you are now to get to your destination.
let me know if you have any questions!!!
Answer:
b. these codes are equal volume
Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope is rise over run
or y change divided by x change
to find the slope you need to find points on the graph that meet exact points on the graph
i see (0,1) and (2,0)
to find slope without graph it would be (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
in this case (0-1)/(2-0)
=-1/2
with graph you can count that it goes down -1 squares and to the right 2 squares
hope this helps
