=> 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

4TH TIME ASKING THIS!!! Please help me! Someone pleaseeee. I need the correct answers. I don’t want to fail

Answer:

The functions are inverses; f(g(x)) = x ⇒ answer D

$h^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x+1}{3}}$ ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to find the inverse of a function</em>

- Let f(x) = y

- Exchange x and y

- Solve to find the new y

- The new y = $f^{-1}(x)$

* <em>Lets use these steps to solve the problems</em>

∵ $f(x)=\sqrt{x-3}$

∵ f(x) = y

∴ $y=\sqrt{x-3}$

- Exchange x and y

∴ $x=\sqrt{y-3}$

- Square the two sides

∴ x² = y - 3

- Add 3 to both sides

∴ x² + 3 = y

- Change y by $f^{-1}(x)$

∴ $f^{-1}(x)=x^{2}+3$

∵ g(x) = x² + 3

∴ $f^{-1}(x)=g(x)$

∴ <u><em>The functions are inverses to each other</em></u>

* <em>Now lets find f(g(x))</em>

- To find f(g(x)) substitute x in f(x) by g(x)

∵ $f(x)=\sqrt{x-3}$

∵ g(x) = x² + 3

∴ $f(g(x))=\sqrt{(x^{2}+3)-3}=\sqrt{x^{2}+3-3}=\sqrt{x^{2}}=x$

∴ <u><em>f(g(x)) = x</em></u>

∴ The functions are inverses; f(g(x)) = x

* <em>Lets find the inverse of h(x)</em>

∵ h(x) = 3x² - 1 where x ≥ 0

- Let h(x) = y

∴ y = 3x² - 1

- Exchange x and y

∴ x = 3y² - 1

- Add 1 to both sides

∴ x + 1 = 3y²

- Divide both sides by 3

∴ $\frac{x + 1}{3}=y^{2}$

- Take √ for both sides

∴ ± $\sqrt{\frac{x+1}{3}}=y$

∵ x ≥ 0

∴ We will chose the positive value of the square root

∴ $\sqrt{\frac{x+1}{3}}=y$

- replace y by $h^{-1}(x)$

∴ $h^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x+1}{3}}$

Show work on how you converted them. (also marking brainliest) <3

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

1. 5700mg

2. 1000cm

3. 0.0453m

4. 37.5 kg/L

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 1gram (g) =1000milligrams(mg)

5.70×1000=5700mg

2. 1 m= 100cm

10×100=1000cm

3. 1000mm=1m

45.3/1000=0.0453m

4. 1000g=1kg

37.5/1000=0.0375

1000ml=1L

1ml= 1/1000= 0.001L

0.0375/0.001= 37.5 kg/L

Subtract 8 y^2 − 5 y + 7 from 2 y^2 + 7 y + 1 1 <br><br> The answer is: −6y ^2 +12y+4

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{-6y^2+12y+4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(2y^2+7y+11)-(8y^2-5y+7)\\\\=2y^2+7y+11-8y^2-(-5y)-7\\\\=2y^2+7y+11-8y^2+5y-7\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(2y^2-8y^2)+(7y+5y)+(11-7)\\\\=-6y^2+12y+4$

If the length of a leg of a triangle is 39.2 and the area of the triangle is 63 what is the length of the other leg

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The length of the other leg is $3.21\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that the triangle is a right triangle

In a right triangle the legs are perpendicular

so

The area of a right triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}(a)(b)$

where

a and b are the legs of the triangle

In this problem we have

$a=39.2\ units$

$A=63\ units^{2}$

substitute the values

$63=\frac{1}{2}(39.2)(b)$

$126=(39.2)(b)$

$b=126/(39.2)=3.21\ units$
