Ryan needs to solve the equation x2−8x−9=0 by completing the square. which pair of steps is the most efficient way to begin?

The height of a birch tree, f(x), in inches, after x months is shown in the graph below. how much does the birch tree grow per month, and what will be the height of the birch tree after 10 months? a. the birch tree grows 1 inch per month. the height of the birch tree will be 16 inches after 10 months. b. the birch tree grows 2 inches per month. the height of the birch tree will be 26 inches after 10 months. c. the birch tree grows 3 inches per month. the height of the birch tree will be 36 inches after 10 months. d. the birch tree grows 2 inches per month. the height of the birch tree will be 24 inches after 10 months.

Hich equation can pair with x + 2y = 5 to create an inconsistent system? 2x + 4y = 3 5x + 2y = 3 6x + 12y = 30 3x + 4y = 8

State how many imaginary and real zeros the function has. f(x) = x3 - 20x2 + 123x - 216
