6x²+x-12
the first thing we need to do is find 2 numbers that add up to equal the middle term (1) but multiply together to get a product of -72 (-12*6)
two numbers that would fit this is 9 and -8
so now we placed 9x and -8x in place of the middle term
6x²+9x-8x-12
now we look for whats common between the first two numbers and divide them out
6x²+9x = 3x(2x+3)
now we do the same with the last two numbers
-8x-12 = -4(2x+3)
notice how the numbers in brackets are the same (2x+3)
we will keep (2x+3) and then combine the numbers on the outside
once we do that you should get an answer of
(3x-4)(2x+3)
hope this helped!
To solve this you must use the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
First we have parentheses.
-4(3 - 1) + 2
3 - 1 = 2
-4(2) + 2
We have no exponents so go on to multiplication
-4(2) + 2
-4 * 2 = -8
-8 + 2
No division so go to addition
-8 + 2
When adding a positive number with a negative number you will act as if you are subtracting the two numbers, then take the sign of the largest number (disregarding the signs). In this case the largest number is 8 and its sign is negative. Your answer will have a negative sign.
-6

Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
so the inverse takes us from the range to the domain... they tell us that f(4) goes to 5.. so if we were to take the inverse f
(5) it takes us back to 4... and the slope at 4 or the derivative was 2/3 so that's what we get for f
'(5) :)
Answer:
The first step is to replace the y in y-x=15 with 7x (we can do this because the first equation tells us that they're equal)
solve and get
(2.5,17.5)
or x= 2.5 y=17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to recognize that y=7x which means that we can just replace the y in the second equation with 7x
7x-x=15
6x=15
x=2.5
Then we can solve for y
y=7(2.5)
y=17.5
