Can anyone pls help me with this I'll mark as brainlist for correct answer please do explain in detail each answers Ty! (I'm preparing for my maths exam tmr)​

Question 8

a^2 + 7a + 12

= (a+3)(a+4)

When factorising a quadratic, the product of the two factors should equal the constant term (12), and the sum of the two factors should equal the linear term (7). To find the two factors, list out the factors of 12 (1x12, 2x6, 3x4) and identify the pair that adds up to 7 (3+4).

An alternative method if you get stuck during your exam would be to solve it algebraically using the quadratic formula and then write it in the factorised form.

a = (-7 +or- sqrt(7^2 - 4(1)(12)) / 2(1)

= (-7 +or- sqrt(1))/2

= -3 or -4

These factors are the negative of the values that would go in the brackets when written in factorised form, as when a = -3 the factor (a+3) would equal 0. (If it were positive 3 instead, then in the factorised form it would be a-3).

Question 10

-3(x - y)/9 + (4x - 7y)/2 - (x + y)/18

Rewrite each fraction with a common denominator so you can combine the fractions into one.

= -6(x - y)/18 + 9(4x - 7y)/18 - (x + y)/18

= (-6(x - y) + 9(4x - 7y) - (x + y)) /18

Expand the brackets and collect like terms.

= (-6x + 6y + 36x - 63y - x - y)/18

= (29x - 58y)/18

= 29/18 x - 29/9 y

you didn't give me the choices, so i will just give you the graph so you can look at your choices and choose the right one.

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
