2(x²) - 2x - 12= 2( x^2 - x - 6)The constant is negative so the 2 factors must have opposite signs. Then, the x term is negative so the larger one must be negative, and the smaller one positive...

For a proof via contradiction, you would start by assuming the statement is actually false¹ (even if the given statement seems inherent...

4(2x + y) = 11 + 7y expand the brackets8x + 4y = 11 + 7y move +4y to the other side8x = 11 + 3y move 8 to the other sidex= (11 + 3y)/8

If y=x^2 + ax + b is the equation for the curve, then the points which lie on the curve must satisfy this equation.Inputing the points into the equation gives:-4 =6^2+6a+b -6=4^2+4a+bNow solve simultaneou...
