X=0 because if you add 7+0+2 it will equal 9
For this, I got the equation (X+3)^2-2 or X^2+6X+7. I used this method:
First I set up an equation (X+H)^2-K, where (K, H) is the vertex. All we have to do is find where the graph reaches its minimum value (because it opens upwards), then find the x-coordinate that lies there, which is (-2,3). Substituting these value in for H and K, we get the equation <span>(X+3)^2-2 or simplified X^2+6X+7.

The result is x^2 +x +4 -21/(x+3).

Polynomial long division tends to be easier than numerical long division because the quotient term never needs adjustment. It is always the ratio of the highest degree terms of the dividend and divisor.
See the attachment for the intermediate steps.
3+5=8
1200 voters
1200/8 = 150
Female: 5 x 150 = 750 voters
Male: 3 x 150 = 450 voters
