Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
An undefined slope means that the line is vertical and parallel to the y- axis.
A vertical line has equal x- coordinates of the points it passes through.
The only pair where the x- coordinates are equal are
(- 3, - 3) and (- 3, 3) ← undefined slope → C

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the formula is ...
f(n) = an^2 +bn +c
Then we have ...
f(1) = 1 = a(1^2) +b(1) +c
f(2) = -5 = a(2^2) +b(2) +c
f(3) = -13 = a(3^2) +b(3) +c

Here's a way to solve these equations.
Subtract the first equation from the second:
-6 = 3a +b . . . . . 4th equation
Subtract the second equation from the third:
-8 = 5a +b . . . . . 5th equation
Subtract the fourth equation from the fifth:
-2 = 2a
a = -1
Then substituting into the 4th equation to find b, we have ...
-6 = 3(-1) +b
-3 = b
and ...
1 = -1 +(-3) +c . . . . . substituting "a" and "b" into the first equation
5 = c
The formula is ...
f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5
<u>Zeros of the function</u>
f(x) = (x + 2)² - 25
f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 2) - 25
f(x) = x(x + 2) + 2(x + 2) - 25
f(x) = x(x) + x(2) + 2(x) + 2(2) - 25
f(x) = x² + 2x + 2x + 4 - 25
f(x) = x² + 4x + 4 - 25
f(x) = x² + 4x - 21
x² + 4x - 21 = 0
x = <u>-(4) +/- √((4)² - 4(1)(-21))</u>
2(1)
x = <u>-4 +/- √(16 + 84)</u>
2
x = <u>-4 +/- √(100)
</u> 2<u>
</u>x = <u>-4 +/- 10
</u> 2<u>
</u>x = -2 <u>+</u> 5<u>
</u>x = -2 + 5 x = -2 - 5
x = 3 x = -7
f(x) = x² + 4x - 21
f(3) = (3)² + 4(3) - 21
f(3) = 9 + 12 - 21
f(3) = 21 - 21
f(3) = 0
(x, f(x)) = (3, 0)
or
f(x) = x² + 4x - 21
f(-7) = (-7)² + 4(-7) - 21
f(-7) = 49 - 28 - 21
f(-7) = 21 - 21
f(-7) = 0
(x, f(x)) = (-7, 0)
<u>Vertex</u>
<u>X - Intercept</u>
<u />-b/2a = -(4)/2(1) = -4/2 = -2
<u>Y - Intercept</u>
y = x² + 4x - 21
y = (-2)² + 4(-2) - 21
y = 4 - 8 - 21
y = -4 - 21
y = -25
(x, y) = (-2, -25)
