Answer:

(-2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can complete the square of the equation to get

y+(4/2)^2 = x^2+4x+(4/2)^2

y+4 = x^2 + 4x + 4

y+4 = (x+2)^2

y = (x+2)^2 - 4

This gives the form y = a(x-h)^2 + k where (h, k) is the vertex of the equation. You can also arrive at the same conclusion by making some observations of the equation. (x+2)^2 minimum value is going to be 0 since and negative values resulting from x+2 is going to become positive because of the square. So the minimum value is when x+2 is 0 or when x is equal to -2 and when it's at that minimum value of 0 it's going to have 4 subtracted from it which gives the vertex of (-2, -4)

Your answer is 38-8i because what you do is 1 times 3 and get 3 then 1 times 7i and get 7i then you do -5i times 3 and you get -15i then -5i times 7i and you get -35i2 and the square will cancel out the negative and make it 35 then add that to the 3 and you get 38 then take the -15i +7i and get -8 do your answer is 38-8i

Since Δ VWX and Δ YZX are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{VW}{YZ}$ = $\frac{VX}{YX}$ = $\frac{WX}{ZX}$
