Factorize x2 + 7x + 12 using middle term break method.

(x + 4)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 7x + 12

In Quadratic Factorization using Splitting of Middle Term which is x term is the sum of two factors and product equal to last term. Factor each pair by finding common factors.

so we need two number that gives 12 when multiplied and 7 when added

4 and 3 are the numbers because 4*3 = 12 and 4+3 = 12

=x^2 + (4 + 3)x + 12

=x^2 + 4x + 3x + 12

=x(x + 4) + 3(x + 4)

take (x + 4) as common

=(x + 4) (x*1 + 3*1)

=(x + 4)(x + 3)

associative property of multiplication

step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^2 -1 

translation is a function transformation that transform the function in a way of translating. by translating the function its graph is moved  up an down. moving the function f(x) 2 units to the left will be the new function g(x) with the equation: g(x)=f(x+2)=2(x+2)^2 -1
