Given that x^2- 8x + 9 = (x - a)^2 - b for all values of x, (i) Find the value of a and the value of b.
a =
b =

(ii) Hence write down the coordinates of the turning point on the graph of y = x2 - 8x + 9
(...,...)

a. the are of the rectangle is 18.25

b. 18.25 times two is 36.50

rae me : d

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

it is not that hard all u have to do is plot the graph

step-by-step explanation:

slope =   (y2 -y1) ÷ (x2 -x1)

slope = (0 -0) / (-5, -7)

slope = 0 / -12 = 0

the slope of the line is zero.   it is perfectly horizontal.
