=> 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

Answer:

We know that the equation of the circle in standard form is equal to <em>(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²</em> where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.

We have x² + y² + 8x + 22y + 37 = 0, let's get to the standard form :

1 - We first group terms with the same variable :

(x²+8x) + (y²+22y) + 37 = 0

2 - We then move the constant to the opposite side of the equation (don't forget to change the sign !)

(x²+8x) + (y²+22y) = - 37

3 - Do you recall the quadratic identities ? (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b². Now that's what we are trying to find. We call this process <u><em>"completing the square"</em></u>.

x²+8x = (x²+8x + 4²) - 4² = (x+4)² - 4²

y²+22y = (y²+22y+11²)-11² = (y+11)²-11²

4 - We plug the new values inside our equation :

(x+4)² - 4² + (y+22)² - 11² = -37

(x+4)² + (y+22)² = -37+4²+11²

(x+4)²+(y+22)² = 100

5 - We re-write in standard form :

(x-(-4)²)² + (y - (-22))² = 10²

And now it is easy to identify h and k, h = -4 and k = - 22 and the radius r equal 10. You can now complete the sentence :)

A jar Contains 18 strawberry- 24cheery- and 19 lime-flavored candy the rest of the candies are chocolate there are 82 candies an
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

61 + n = 82

Step-by-step explanation:

So the total number of candy is 82. This is the sum of each type of candy, i.e. 18 + 24 + 19 + n. So we have

18 + 24 + 19 + n = 82

61   +    n            = 82

( if we solve the equation we get n = 82 - 61 = 21)

Hope it helps and if it does please mark me brainliest;)
