The answer is a² + 6. "Sum of a squared and 6" means you square a value and then add 6 to it.
We have

so this is indeed a difference of squares. Factorizing would give

making the answer D.
We can further factor the first term here and write

but that's clearly out of the scope of this question.
Answer:
Linear functions are equations where the greatest power of the variable (typically x) is 1;
They are graphed as straight lines;
So, any function that has the following format:
f(x) = ax + b;
Nonlinear functions would be any equation that has a variable to a power greater than 1;
This could be a quadratic equation or an exponential equation
Answer:
Triangle ABC is similar but not congruent to Triangle XYZ
Step-by-step explanation:
When you dilate the size changes but the angles are the same with makes them similar and since the size of the triangles are different they cannot be congruent.
Answer:
(-2,-3) and (3,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
sub in x-1 into y
x^2 + (x-1)^2 = 13
x^2 + (x-1)(x-1)=13
x^2 + x^2 -2x +1 = 13
2x^2 -2x-12=0
solve for x by factoring (quadratic formula, product sum etc..)
x= -2 and 3
plug in those values into y=x-1 and solve for y
