Answer:
expanded form: 5 * 5 * 5
value: 125
Step-by-step explanation:
believe what you're asking is to turn the trinomial into two binomials
So you first have to get 3x²; the only way to get this is
(3x )(x ) when multiplying that, you would get 3x²
when dealing with the -8x and the 4, you must find numbers that are factors of four (when multiplied together they will equal 4) and will multiply with the x's to get -8
(3x-2)(x-2)
you can tell that this is the answer because when you multiply though you will get:
3x-2x²-6x+4
or: 3x²-8x_4
Hope this helped
It is negative only when the number itself is negative.
hence, sometimes.
We have to find the parameter a so that (-1,2) is part of the function f(x) = ax²+4.
To check if a point is part of a function, we can replace the values of x and y = f(x) with the coordinates of the point and then, if the equation stays true, then the point is part of the function.
So for (x,y) = (-1,2) to be part of the function y = f(x), this equation has to stands true:

Then, the function would have to be f(x) = -2x² + 4.
We can check with a graph as:
Answer: a = -2
