<h3>Answer: 6x</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

Ignoring the variables for now, the GCF of 18 and 12 is 6. This is the largest factor found in both values

18 = 6*3
12 = 6*2

Now let's consider the variables. Both terms have an 'x' in them, but not a y. This means x will be tacked on the 6 we found earlier to get the overall GCF to be 6x.

Note how

18x + 12xy = 6x*3+6x*2y = 6x(3+2y)

Showing we can factor out the GCF using the distributive property.

$x^5 + x^4 - 7x^3 - 7x^2 -144x - 144 = 0 \\x^4(x+1)-7x^2(x+1)-144(x+1)=0\\(x^4-7x^2-144)(x+1)=0\\\\x+1=0\Rightarrow x=-1\\\\x^4-7x^2-144=0\\x^4-16x^2+9x^2-144=0\\x^2(x^2-16)+9(x^2-16)=0\\(x^2+9)(x^2-16)=0\\(x^2+9)(x-4)(x+4)=0\\\\x^2+9=0\vee x-4=0 \vee x+4=0\\x=4 \vee x=-4\\\\x\in\{-4,-1,4\}$

2. Draw the image of ∆RST under the dilation with scale factor ⅓ and center of dilation at the origin. Label the image ∆R’S’T’.

Alchen [17]

Since center of dilation is the origin, this is easy. Just divide all of the x and y coordinate values by 3. Place the new point on the graph, and draw the triangle.

R' = R(3,6)/3 = (3/3,6/3)=(1,2). So R'(1,2)
S' = S(-3,6)/3 = (-3/3,6/3)=(-1,2). So S'(-1,2)
T' = T(-6,-6)/3 = (-6/3,-6/3)=(-2,-2). So T'(-2,-2)

So you now know the location of the 3 new points. R' at (1,2), S' at (-1,2) and T' at (-2,-2). Simply draw those 3 points on your graph and connect the lines to make a new triangle.
