Mr. Mole left his burrow that lies below the ground and started digging his way at a constant rate deeper into the ground. After 5 minutes of descending at a rate of 1.8 meters per minute, he was 13.5 meters below the ground. Let y represent Mr. Mole’s altitude (in meters) relative to the ground after x minutes.

Complete the equation for the relationship between the altitude and number of minutes.

Y=

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
