Point b is on the graph of the function f(x) = -3x^2. if the x-coordinate of point b is 2, which ordered pair gives the location of point b?

astronomers is your final answer! : )

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
