Answer:
x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x = 4 - sqrt(73)
Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:
Solve for x:
(x - 12) (x + 4) = 9
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
x^2 - 8 x - 48 = 9
Add 48 to both sides:
x^2 - 8 x = 57
Add 16 to both sides:
x^2 - 8 x + 16 = 73
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 4)^2 = 73
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 4 = sqrt(73) or x - 4 = -sqrt(73)
Add 4 to both sides:
x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x - 4 = -sqrt(73)
Add 4 to both sides:
Answer: x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x = 4 - sqrt(73)
Answer:
(2,3)
If you have any questions about the way I solved it, don't hesitate to ask ÷)
450÷50=9
Your answer would be 9inches because all you have to do is divide 450 by 50 and you get the number of inches

has y = 0 as a solution.
Selection B is appropriate.
Answer:
a=(2/5), b = (-2,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
well slope formula is rise/run. So for the first one you start at the point rise 2 run 5 and you reach the endpoint. That is how you know you got the correct slope. (2/5)
For the second one you start at the first point and you cannot go up because it is a negative slope you run 6 till you hit the other point go down 2. Since you go down 2 that would make it -2. (-2,6)
