Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

All the terms in the equation are even, so we can divide by 2 immediately to make the numbers smaller.

Try to factor before we use loner methods of the quadratic formula or completing the square.

Find factors of 15 which subtract (because of -15) to give 2.

The signs will be different (because of -15), there must be more positives. (because of +2)

5 and 3 will work!

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²-4x-30 = 0

devide by 2

; x²-2x-15 = 0

(x+3)(x-5) = 0

my answer got deleted but it's a

step-by-step explanation:

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.
