AB =

The midpoint os segment AB =

The midpoint is:
(1,-4)
Answer:
C. 
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the equation meant
?
Anyways, to factor these kinds of quadratic, keep into consideration:

ONLY if:

Start off by finding factors of c, which in this case, -18:
±(1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18)
If one of the numbers is negative then the other number must be positive.
Find which two factors will sum up to b, which in this case, is 3.

The only two factors that work are 6 and -3.
Replace them into the factored form:

Answer:
189282
Step-by-step explanation:
1. when you see 4(x² - 1), then you have to multiply 4 with everything in the bracket. keep in mind that you always have to be cautious of the sign whether it is a positive or a negative.
positive ×/÷ positive = positive
negative ×/÷ negative = positive
positive ×/÷ negative = negative
negative ×/÷ positive = negative
^ you have to remember this.
2. only like terms (same alphabet) can plus or minus each other.
3. simplify by taking out the common factor and placing it outside the bracket.
