Answer:

\displaystyle \large{(x + 9)(x - 8)}

The value of a is 9 and b is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle  \large{(x + a)(x  + b) =  {x}^{2}  + (a + b)x + ab}

We need to find two numbers that add up or subtract off to 1.

Then we also use the same two numbers that multiply and get -72.

Let's see:-

  • 9 and -8 seem like correct values.

Because 9+(-8) is 9-8 = 1

And 9(-8) is -72.

Therefore:

\displaystyle \large{ {x}^{2}  + x - 72 = (x + 9)(x - 8)}

The value of a is 9 and the value of b is -8 according to form of (x+a)(x+b)

Answer:

(x + 9)(x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + x - 72

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 72) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 1)

The factors are + 9 and - 8 , since

9 × - 8 = - 72 and 9 - 8 = 1 , then

x² + x - 72 = (x + 9)(x - 8)

with a = 9 and b = - 8

The table shows a function. Is the function linear or nonlinear?
Umnica [9.8K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  nonlinear

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function is linear, evenly-spaced x-values will correspond to evenly-spaced y-values.

Here, the x-values all differ by 1. The y-values differ by 2 and 6, so the function is nonlinear.
