Juanita begins to factor an expression as shown. x2 + 3x – 18 = (x + )(x – ) the numbers that should be placed in the boxes, from left to right, are 3 and 62 and 96 and 39 and 2

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing values from left to right are a and b.

The given equation is

Splitting the middle term we get

Taking out common factors from each parenthesis.

On comparing both sides we get

The numbers that should be placed in the boxes, from left to right 6 and 3. Therefore the correct option is 3.

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct

can i know which language is this?
