Can someone me in this?
a^2-ab-b-1

(a + 1) (a − b − 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you're trying to factor the expression?  If so, use quadratic formula to find the roots.

a = [ -(-b) ± √((-b)² − 4(1)(-b−1)) ] / 2(1)

a = [ b ± √(b² + 4b + 4) ] / 2

a = [ b ± (b + 2) ] / 2

a = -1 or b + 1

(a − (-1)) (a − (b + 1))

(a + 1) (a − b − 1)

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363
