Can someone please help me with this

Step-by-step explanation:

WYXV is quadrilateral.

the reason are the undefined angles at W and V (they are equal, but not necessarily 90°, so the shape could shrink or extend between W and V)

ABCD is a rectangle.

AB and CD are parallel and equally long. and C is 90°.

that means then that the other angles must be 90° too, or either the parallel or equally long criteria would be violated.

PQSR is a parallelogram.

PQ and RS are parallel and equally long.

that means that PR and QS must also be parallel and equally long. we just don't know the angles, they could be anything. and therefore this is not a rectangle but a more generic parallelogram.

step-by-step explanation:

equation

you are asked to write the equation

  expression = 0

using the given expression. when you do that, you have

  2x^2-2x-12 = 0

factoring

you can see that each of the coefficients is even, so a factor of 2 can be removed immediately.

  2(x^2 -x -6) = 0

if you multiply the binomials (x+a)(x+b), you get

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab

this tells you the coefficient of x is the sum of two factors of the constant term. here, that means -1 is the sum of two factors of -6. we want to know those factors so we can factor the trinomial.

  -6 = -1×6 = -2×3 = -3×2 = -6×1

the factor pair that sums to -1 is {-3, 2}, so our factorization is

  2(x -3)(x +2) = 0

solutions

the solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the product zero. a product is zero only when only of the factors of the product is zero. here, that means

  x - 3 = 0

  x = 3 . . . add 3 to both sides of the equation

or

  x +2 = 0

  x = -2 . . . add -2 to both sides of the equation

the solutions to the equation are x=3 or x=-2. both of these values of x satisfy the equation—they make it be true.

i don't even know man. edge inuity be messing with us. i had to ask a question too.
