If ab = 8 and a^2+b^2=16, then what is the value of (a+b)^2?

& so , .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , ab= 8 & a^2+b^2=16 i.e.  and .

We need to find value of (a+b)^2 i.e. :

It's and identity and we know that

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

∴ & so , .

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.

hope i !

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
