You are given a table in which each row represents the coordinates of points. For example, in the first line, we have x=-7 and y=5. Work through the four given equations, one at a time, subbing -7 for x and 5 for y; is the equation still true? If yes, then you have found the correct answer. B is the exception; I'd suggest you check out equations A, C and D first, before focusing on B.
Example: D: (5)-5 = 2((-7) + 7) leads to 0 = 0. Is that true? If so, D is likely the correct answer.
(3/5)³
=(3³)/(5³)
=27/125
---------------
As:
3*3*3=27
And:
5*5*5=125
Answer:
a. x = -9 or x = -2
b. -5(x - 4)
c. x = -3 or x = 5
d. x = ±7
Step-by-step explanation:
a. First person;
y = x² + 11x + 18
y = x² + 9x + 2x + 18
y = x(x + 9) + 2(x + 9)
y = (x + 9)(x + 2)
y = x = -9 or x = -2
b. Second person;
y = -5x + 20
The common factor is 5.
y = -5(x - 4)
c. Third person;
y = x² - 2x - 15
y = x² - 5x + 3x - 15
y = x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5)
y = (x + 3)(x - 5)
y = x = -3 or x = 5
d. Fourth person;
y = x² - 49
Applying the difference of squares formula;
(a² - b²) = (a - b)(a + b)
y = x² - 49 = x² - 7² = (x - 7)(x + 7)
y = (x - 7)(x + 7)
y = x = ±7
