Answer:
What is x? I will tell you the answer in the comments!! Thank you!!
You have to know that the graph of the arctangent function is a flat S-shaped curve that goes through (0, 0) and has asymptotes at ±π/2. The factor of 2 that multiplies it here expands it vertically so the asymptotes are at ±π. The +3 added to the x causes it to be shifted to the left by 3 units.
Factor
b(b+12)=0
set to zero
b=0
b+12=0
b=-12
b=0 or -12
written as this way
b=-12,0
It is less because 8(2/8) would equal 2
