We can factorise this expression by grouping. First let us arrange it in this way

Let us bracket them like this:

In the first bracket portion, take x as common and in the second expression, take 2 as common.

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

If you have any query, feel free to ask.
In the attached diagram you can see the graph of the function 
As you can see graph is:
1. increasing from x = −2 to x = −1
2. decreasing from x = 0 to x = 1
3. decreasing and then increasing from x=1 to x=2
4. increasing from x=2 to x=4.
Answer: correct choice is B.
Well if rounding it to the tenths is 230 then you would round back down to 200
Answer:
short story has 32 pgs
novel has 416 pgs
Step-by-step explanation:
a novel (N) has 13 times as many pages as a short story (x) so, N = 13X
total pages is the equation N + x = 448
plug the equation for N into this
13x + x = 448, combine like terms
14x = 448, divide both sides by 14
x = 32. so now we know that the short story has 32 pages. subtract that from 448. and the novel has 416 pages.
