Answer: Area = side²

If Area = 4x² + 12x + 9, then the side is the √(4x² + 12x + 9)

Let’s factor 4x² + 12x + 9

What two numbers multiply to be 36 (which came from 4 * 9) add up to be 12?

6 and 6 are the two numbers, because 6 * 6 = 36, and 6 + 6 = 12.

We can break 4x² + 12x + 9 into (4x² + 6x) + (6x + 9)

Factor 4x² + 6x, the greatest common factor is 2x, so the 2x goes on the outside, leaving us with 2x + 3 on the inside, so that gives us 2x * (2x + 3).

Factor 6x + 9, the greatest common factor is 3, so the 3 goes on the outside, leaving us with 2x + 3 on the inside, that gives us 3 * (2x + 3).

Now we have the 4x² + 12x + 9 written as 2x (2x + 3) + 3 (2x + 3). Since we now have a common factor, 2x + 3, we can combine them by adding 2x (2x + 3) + 3 (2x + 3) as like terms, so we now have (2x + 3) * (2x + 3).

We can simplify (2x + 3)(2x + 3) into (2x + 3)².

There. The simplest factored form of 4x² + 12x + 9 is (2x + 3)²

Ok, the Area = (2x + 3)²

Let’s solve for the side

(2x + 3)² = side²

square root both sides and take the positive root

side = √(2x + 3)²

side = 2x + 3

The side length is: 2x + 3 units

I hope you get a good grade lol :)

The top portion of this graph would be y = 4

The bottom portion would be y = x - 1


In order to find both of these, we have to look at them separately. Let's start with the flat line between 1 and -1. Since it is between those numbers, we know this one goes on top. We also know that since the line is horizontal, that the equation must be y = the number that it sits at. This is the definition of a horizontal line. Since the line is at 4, we get y = 4.


For the sloped portion, we have to pick two points and find the equation of the line. Let's use (3, 2) and (5, 4). We must start by finding slope (m)


m = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

m = (4 - 2)(5 - 3)

m = 2/2

m = 1


So we know slope to equal 1. Now we can use a point and slope intercept form to find the y-intercept (b)


y = mx + b

4 = 1(5) + b

4 = 5 + b

-1 = b


Now put them together in an equation for the bottom part: y = x - 1

The formula 2y = 3x + 6 is used in chemistry. How can this formula be solved for Y?
lord [1]

2y = 3x + 6\\y = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{6}{2} = \frac{3}{2}x + 3
