Question

Consider the polynomial 9x2 – 16.

What is the value of ac?



What is the value of b?



What two numbers multiply to get ac and add to get b?



The factored form of 9x2 – 16 is

Answer 1

Explanation:

The value of ac together is 16(9x^2) or 144x^2

The value of B is zero since there is no B

(b is x, ( note not x^2, but only 1x)

Answer 2

What is the value of ac? -144

What is the value of b? 0

What two numbers multiply to get ac and add to get b? -12 and 12

The factored form of 9x² - 16 is (3x-4)(3x+4)
