Question 9. Factor x^2 - 6x + 9.
A
(x - 3)
B
(x - 3)(x + 3)
C
(x - 3)^2
D
9x + 3)^2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 6x + 9

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 9) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 6)

The factors are - 3 and - 3, since

- 3 × - 3 = + 9 and - 3 - 3 = - 6, thus

x² - 6x + 9 = (x - 3)(x - 3) = (x - 3)² → C

a²-2*a*b+b²=(a-b)²

x²-6x+9=x²-2*x*3+3²=(x-3)²  C)

step-by-step explanation:

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
