Question

The difference between two numbers is 12. If one number is represented by x, the other number can be expressed as ______. The product of the numbers, P(x), expressed in the form P(x) = ax²+bx + c, is P(x) = ______

Answer 1

The difference between two numbers is 12. If one number is represented by x, the other number can be expressed as x - 12. The product of the numbers, P(x), expressed in the form P(x) = ax²+bx + c, is P(x) = x² - 12x

x*(x - 12)

x*x - x*12

x² - 12x
