We need to write the equation in its vertex form so we have to know the general equation for the vertex form. It is written as:

y = (x - h)^2 + k

where h and k represents the point of the vertex.

We go as follows:

y = (x^2 + 4x) – 3 
y +4= (x^2 + 4x+4) – 3 
y = (x + 2)^2 - 7

Therefore, the correct answer from the choices is option B.

The vertex form of the equation x^{2}+4x-3 is \fbox{\begin{minispace}\\ \math (x+2)^{2} -7\end{minispace}}, that is \fbox{\begin{minispace}\\option B\end{minispace}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is a two degree equation that has the standard form ax^{2}+bx+c.

The degree of the given equation x^{2}+4x-3 is 2 therefore it is a quadratic equation.

Every quadratic equation represents a parabola so the given equation also represents a parabolic function.

The standard form of equation of a parabola is written as shown below.

\fbox{\begin{minispace}\\ \math a(x-h)^{2}+k\end{minispace}}

Here, the value of a represents whether the parabola is upwards or downward and the point (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Therefore, the above equation form is known as the vertex form of the equation.

To transform any quadratic equation into its vertex form, we use completing the square method.

Firstly, if the coefficient of x^{2} is other than 1 then divide the complete equation by that coefficient.

Here, the coefficient of x^{2} is 1 so the first step is not required.

Now, add a value and subtract the same value such that it forms a perfect square.

For a standard quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c, the value that is added and subtracted in the expression is calculated as \left(\dfrac{b}{2a}\right)^{2}.

Hence, add and subtract 4 to the equation and simplify as shown below.

\begin{aligned}x^{2}+4x-3&=x^{2}+4x-3+4-4\\&=x^{2}+4x+4-3-4\\&=(x+2)^{2}-7\end{aligned}

Therefore, the vertex form of the equation x^{2}+4x-3 is \fbox{\begin{minispace}\\ \math (x+2)^{2} -7\end{minispace}}.

A girls' choir is choosing a concert uniform. They can pick red, green, or purple sweaters, and they can pick tan or black skirt
Fynjy0 [20]
<h3>Answer:  C) 12</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

There are 3 colors of sweaters {red, green, purple} and 2 colors of skirts {tan, black}

So far there are 3*2 = 6 different outfit combinations. Imagine a table with 3 rows representing the sweater colors and 2 columns representing the skirt colors. There would be 6 cells in the table representing each possible combination. One cell would have (red sweater, tan skirt) for instance.

For each of those 6 combinations, we also have 2 shoe colors. So overall we have 6*2 = 12 outfit combinations

The tree diagram is shown below. Note how there are 3*2*2 = 12 different paths to follow.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Given, b(x) = (\frac{6}{7})^{x}

The table for the function are:

When x = -2

b(-2) = (\frac{6}{7})^{-2}

b(-2) = \frac{1}{(\frac{6}{7})^{2}}

b(-2) = \frac{1}{(\frac{36}{49})}

b(-2) = 1*\frac{49}{36}

b(-2) = \frac{49}{36}

When x = -1

b(-1) = (\frac{6}{7})^{-1}

b(-1) = \frac{1}{(\frac{6}{7})}

b(-1) = 1*\frac{7}{6}

b(-2) = \frac{7}{6}

When x = 0

b(0) = (\frac{6}{7})^{0}

b(0) = \frac{6^0}{7^0}

b(0) = \frac{1}{1}

b(0) = 1

When x = 1

b(1) = (\frac{6}{7})^{1}

b(1) = \frac{6}{7}

When x = 2

b(2) = (\frac{6}{7})^{2}

b(2) = \frac{6^2}{7^2}

b(2) = \frac{36}{49}
