How to factor x^3 - 4x^2 - 9x + 36 by grouping

(x-4) (x-3) (x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 - 4x^2 - 9x + 36

Make 2 groups

x^3 - 4x^2            - 9x + 36

We can factor out x^2 from the first group and -9 from the second group

x^2 (x-4)    - 9(x-4)

Now factor out (x-4)

(x-4) (x^2 -9)

This may be an answer choice but we can still factor

(x^2 -9) is the difference of squares

(x^2-9) = (x-3) (x+3)

Replacing this

(x-4) (x-3) (x+3)

(x - 4)(x - 3)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x³ - 4x² - 9x + 36

x²(x - 4) - 9(x - 4)

(x - 4)(x² - 9)

(x - 4)(x² - 3²)

(x - 4)(x - 3)(x + 3)

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".

c: y > - 1/6x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

dashed line - meaning this < or > also not equal

solid line - meaning this < or > also equal

your answer is c because y > means up & it's shaded up, but y < means down

hope this ! : )
