=> 9x² - 24x + 16

Split the middle term(term with x) in such a manner so that the product of those parts is equal to the product of term with x² and constant. Here, those parts are 12 & 12 as 12*12 = 9*16.

=> 9x² - 24x + 16

=> 9x² - (12 + 12)x + 16

=> 9x² - 12x - 12x + 16

=> 3x(3x - 4) - 4(3x - 4)

=> (3x - 4)(3x - 4)

Method 2

=> 9x² - 24x + 16

=> (3x)² - 2(3x*4) + 4²

=> (3x - 4)²

=> (3x - 4)(3x - 4)

Method 3

In case if you can't find the factors of the middle term.

Say f(x) = 0, find the zeroes using quadratic formula. Zeroes of this eqⁿ are [-(-24) ± √24²-4(9)(16)] / 2(9) = 4/3 & 4/3

Therefore, f(x) = (x - 4/3)(x - 4/3) = (3x - 4)(3x - 4)/9

Ignore the numeric constant.

f(x) = (3x - 4)(3x - 4)

The answer=>

For this,we need to know what's Middle splitting method

  • In order to factorize x² + bx + c we have to find numbers p and q such that p + q = b and pq = c. After finding p and q, we split the middle term in the quadratic as <em><u>px + qx and</u></em> get desired factors by grouping the terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

9x {}^{2}  - 24x + 16 \\  =  > 9x {}^{2}  - 12x - 12x + 16 \\  =  > 3x(3x - 4) - 4(3x - 4) \\  =  > (3x - 4)(3x - 4) \\ so... \\ x = eitherway \: 4

i.e

Alpha= Beta = 4

What is the inequality?
True [87]
Option A, x < 0

When looking at line graphs, it's relatively easy to figure out how they work.

Start by locating where the point is. In this case, the point is on 0. Now, is the point hollow? If it is, then you know that the inequality is either < or > (if it's hollow, it means that the integer isn't included). However, if the circle's filled in, you know that it's either ≥ or ≤ (if the circle's filled in, the integer is included)

Now, check to see which way the line goes. Does the number get smaller or bigger as you go across the line? If the number gets bigger, then x > 0. If the number gets smaller, then x < 0.
