Ireally need on this algebra question:
when the expressions x squared - 9 and x squared - 5x - 6 are factored, a common factor is:
1) x+3
2)x-3
3)x-2
4)x squared

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct

110698.56 square miles

step-by-step explanation:

multiply 3.8 by 102

387.6

multiply 2.8 by 102

285.6

multiply those two to get

      2

  2 is to go somewhat to the top right of a because it is squared    

v= a h/3
