What value, entered in the blank below, would make the two expressions equivalent? Expres any non-whole numbers as fractions.

-27x2 + 9x + 12 =

(9x2 – 3x – 4)

The value is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in making the expressions on both sides of the equation equal. But we seek a particular value or number which when placed in front of the quadratic expression on the right hand side makes the equations equal.

To get this done with, we will need to factorize the expression on the left hand side of the equation.

Thus, we can write;

-27x^2 + 9x + 12 as 3(-9x^2 + 3x + 4)

What do we notice? we can see that the now factored quadratic expression resembles what we have on the right hand side asides there fact that we are not there yet in terms of sign.

Thus, we can finally write ;

-27x^2 + 9x + 12 as -3(9x^2 -3x -4)

This exactly gives the expression on the right hand side

Thus the value to place in the blank is -3

step-by-step explanation:

which of the following statements correctly describes the expression below based on its degree and number of terms?

314 - 7x2 + 11

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
