Answer:
The fourth answer choice is the correct one: 2(x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x²-18x+36/x-6 should be factored, as follows:
2(x²-9x+18) / (x-6) = 2(x - 3) (x - 6) / (x - 6)
Substituting x = 6 would result in division by zero and is thus not allowed.
Remembering this, we can reduce 2(x - 3) (x - 6) / (x - 6) to 2(x - 3) for x≠6.
The solution to the quadratic equation is option D
Answer:
9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic function can be rearranged to look like this:
x^2-3x-1=0
Now we see that the constant b is equal to -3. Using the hint, we find:
(-3/2)^2=9/4
Hope that helps!
