9 and 3. Because 9 is a composite number (3*3 = 9) and 3 is a composite number (1*3 = 3).
Y = a (x + 3)² - 1
Let's take the point (-1;3)
3 = a ( -1 + 3)² - 1
3 = 4a - 1
4a = 4
Therefore a = 4/4 = 1
(x+3)² - 1
= x² + 6x + 9 - 1
= x² + 6x + 8
The answer would be y = x² + 6x + 8.
Hope this helps !
Photon
X^2 - 9x + 18
factors of 18: 1*18, 2*9, 3*6,
the sums of the factors: 19, 11, 9
the positive 18 tells us both factors have the same sign, the negative 9 tells us they are both negative
(x - 3)(x - 6)
