Answer:
Reflection over y-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that with a reflection of the x-axis, we flip the value of the y value
But since the y-values in Q3 and Q4 are both negative, we know that can't be the case
So it has to be a reflection over the y-axis where the x-values are flipped
Hope this helps
3x-9=2x+4
3x-9+9=2x+4+9
3x=2x+13
3x-2x=2x-2x+13
x=13
Check:
3(13)-9=2(13)+4
39-9=26+4
30=30
Answer:
It is a perfect square. Explanation below.
Explanation:
Perfect squares are of the form
(
a
+
b
)
2
=
a
2
+
2
a
b
+
b
2
. In polynomials of x, the a-term is always x.(
(
x
+
c
)
2
=
x
2
+
2
c
x
+
c
2
)
x
2
+
8
x
+
16
is the given trinomial. Notice that the first term and the constant are both perfect squares:
x
2
is the square of x and 16 is the square of 4.
So we find that the first and last terms correspond to our expansion. Now we must check if the middle term,
8
x
is of the form
2
c
x
.
The middle term is twice the constant times x, so it is
2
×
4
×
x
=
8
x
.
Okay, we found out that the trinomial is of the form
(
x
+
c
)
2
, where
x
=
x
and
c
=
4
.
Let us rewrite it as
x
2
+
8
x
+
16
=
(
x
+
4
)
2
. Now we can say it is a perfect square, as it is the square of
(
x
+
4
)
.
