The first step for solving this expression is to distribute

through the first set of parenthesis.

× (x - 9)
Now use the FOIL method to multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second parenthesis. This will look like the following:

x × x -

x × 9 -

x -

× (-9)
Remember that multiplying two negatives together equals a positive,, so the expression changes to:

x × x -

x × 9 -

x +

× 9
Calculate the product of all of the sets of multiplication to make the expression become:

x² -

x -

x +

Lastly,, calculate the difference of -

x -

x to find your final answer.

x² -

x +

Answer:
slope -3
y-intercept 19
Step-by-step explanation:
- Vertex Form:
, with (h,k) as the vertex.
So the new equation is in vertex form. And looking at this equation, we see the vertex as (-4,-7) <em>(Remember that y = (x + 4)^2 - 7 can be also written as y = (x - (-4))^2 - 7).</em>
Since negative x-coordinates go to the left on the x-axis and negative y-coordinates go down on the y-axis, <u>your answer is going to be C. It is the graph of y = x^2 translated 7 units down and 4 units to the left.</u>
98.
The numbers increase by intervals of 8. You need 16 more terms until you reach the 20th term, so 16*8=128.
128-30=98.
