What is the prime factorization of 196?

where does the z at is it on the x axes or on the y axes any way if it is on the y axes put it horizontally and if it is on the x axes put it vertically

example answer: "to determine if a sum is reasonable you can round each number to the nearest whole and compare the estimated sum to the actual sum."

hope this you and anyone else who needs the answer : ^)

(a) x intercepts: -6 and 2

you can obtain these by solving the equation 0=x^2 +4x-12 using your favorite quadratic formula. but it is easy to verify -6 and 2 indeed satisfy this equation.

(b) y intercept: -12

this is obtained by setting x=0: 0^2+4*0-12 = -12

(c) the minimum value is: -16 (this is the vertex)

you can get the vertex by rewriting the equation into the form:

there is no global or local maximum as the function goes to infinity, so only in the limit sense: +infinity.
