Final Answer: y = -1/2x + 9
To factor this fraction, you have be be aware of two special factoring formula:
a^3<span> + </span>b^3<span> = (</span>a<span> + </span>b)(a^2<span> – </span>ab<span> + </span>b^2<span>)
</span><span>(a+b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
You can see the top part in this case is (x+y)^3, and the bottom (denominator) can be factor into (x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2)
we can cancel (x+y), so what we have left is (x+y)^2/(x^2-xy+y^2)
or (x^2+2xy+y^2)/(x^2-xy+y^2)

1.03=b this makes sense because it increases 3 percent so you add 1 to .03
Okay I'll try to show it step by step
Step 1. So first you need to recognise that the diagram is a right angled triangle, with the right angle being at the bottom. This means we can do Pythagoras' Theorem.
Step 2. Now that you know you can use Pythagoras' Theorem, you can apply it. If you don't know, the theorem is a² + b² = c², with, in this case, a being 5 and b being 8. This means we can do 5² + 8² = 25 + 64 = 89.
Step 3. From the previous step, we now know that the length of the side including x is √89, and because we know that part of this side is 3, if we subtract 3 from √89 we get the value of x, so: √89 - 3 = 9.434 - 3 = 6.434, which is your answer.
I hope this helps!
Quadratic functions are second-order equations of the form y=ax^2+bx+c. Their graphs form parabolas. The defining characteristic of a quadratic is that the acceleration of the outputs is a constant.
