=> 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

A computer that normally costs $890 is on sale with a 35% discount. What is the sale price?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

578.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

first we calculate 35% of $890

890 * 0.35 = 311.5$

Then we subtract 35% from the original price to obtain the final price

890-311.5=578.5$ <---- final price

iragen [17]

Answer:

Right or positively skewed

Step-by-step explanation:

From the median and the interquartile range we can find the first and third quartile values Q3=40.15+(4.98/2)=42.64 and Q1=37.66.

Now we have enough evidence to conclude that is Right or positively skewed

1. The mean is above the median

2. The mean is 43.70, which is above the third quartile (42.64), meaning that after the mean there's less than 30% of the data.

The evidence suggests that most of the data is concentrated at the bottom of the distribution making it right or positively skewed.
