Express x²-4 in its simplest form.
x²-8

Given the function f(x) = 3x + 1, evaluate f(a + 1). a. 3a + 1 b. a + 2 c. 3a + 4

Solve the system by the elimination method. x + y - 6 = 0 x - y - 8 = 0 when you eliminate y , what is the resulting equation? 2x = -14 2x = 14 -2x = 14

The description below represents function a and the table represents function b: function a the function is 5 more than 3 times x. function b x y −1 2 0 5 1 8 which statement is correct about the slope and y-intercept of the two functions? (1 point) their slopes are equal but y-intercepts are not equal. their slopes are not equal but y-intercepts are equal. both slopes and y intercepts are equal. neither slopes nor y-intercepts are equal.
