Answer:

A. (3x+2)(3x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The trinomial below is a quadratic which comes in the form of ax^2+bx+c

This is pretty self-explanatory when you factor a quadratic equation where a=1

However, in this case, a=9, b=12, and c=4

This is a special polynomial, but in case you can't recognize that, here's how you can factor it:

Now, there are many ways to solve this, I'm going to use a method known as Master Product.

First, we multiply a and c together.

ac=9*4=36

next, we find p and q so that ac = pq and p + q = b

Therefore we are trying to find 2 numbers that multiply to 36 and add to 12.

9 and 4 may be tempting, but it actually adds to 13.

The correct answer would be 6 and 6.

So p=6 and q=6

Next, we can use this to split our polynomial.

Rewrite it as ax^2+px+qx+c

Our new expression would then be

9x^2+6x+6x+4

Now, we just need to factor by grouping.

(9x^2+6x)+(6x+4)

Take GCF out

3x(3x+2)+2(3x+2)

You know this is factorable as the numbers within the parentheses is the same.

Hence you keep one as the numbers in the parentheses and use the numbers in front to get the other bracket.

So if it was ax(bx+c)+d(bx+c) it would become (ax+d)(bx+c)

Rewrite:

(3x+2)(3x+2)

This is a choice, so we can confidently choose A.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions :)

Triangle KML and triangle PRQ are shown in the figure belowK404008 cms4 cms10 cmsOL3 cms6 cmsRM17) Are these triangles similar?1
s2008m [1.1K]

Two triangles are similar if the only difference between them is the size, this means that their internal angles must be the same. If we look at the picture the first triangle has one angle equal to 40 degrees, one equal to 80 degrees and the third one is unkown (x). The second triangle has one angle equal to 40 degrees, one equal to 60 degrees and the third one is unkown (y). The sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees, with this information we can find the values of the missing angles. We have:

\begin{gathered} 40+80+x=180 \\ 120+x\text{ = 180} \\ x\text{ = 180-120=60} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} 40+60+y=180 \\ 100+y=180 \\ y=180-100=80 \end{gathered}

Therefore the internal angles of the first triangle are (40,80,60) and the angles of the second triangle are (40,80,60) as well, therefore they are similar.

Two triangles are congruent if they have sides with the same length. Which is not the case, because the sides of one triangle is (8, 10, 6) while the other is (4,3 and unkown). Therefore they are not congruent.

Apa-bear weighs 250 lb. Mama-bear weighs 50 pounds less than Papa-bear does. Their 2 cubs weigh 80 pounds each. What is the tota
o-na [289]

Given :

Apa-bear weighs 250 lb.

Mama-bear weighs 50 pounds less than Papa-bear does.

Their 2 cubs weigh 80 pounds each.

To Find :

The total weight of the Bear family .

Solution :

Weight of mama bear = 250-50\ lb=200\ lb .

Total weight is the sum of all all weight .

W=\text{Weight of papa-bear + weight of mama-bear + weight of 2 cubs}

W=250+200+2\times 80\\\\W=250+200+160\\\\W=610 \ lb

Therefore , total weight of the Bear family is 610 lb .

Hence , this is the required solution .

How do you add and subtract decimals as easily as you do whole numbers?
Gwar [14]
You can also multiply the decimals by a multiple of 10 to turn them I to whole numbers. Just make sure you multiply them both by the same multiple of 10 and divide them back before you write your answer!
