Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Look for the same stuff under the radical symbol. Here, that "stuff" is "7x". Only one answer choice has 7x under the radical.
_____
Here, there are no cubic factors under the radical that can be factored out—either in the problem expression or in the answer choices. If there were cubic factors, you'd want to remove them before making the comparison.
For example, ∛(56x) would be a like radical to ∛(7x) because a cubic factor of 2^3 = 8 can be removed to make it be 2∛(7x).
<h3>Answer:</h3>
y = -3(x -2)² -5
<h3>Explanation:</h3>The equation of a parabola with vertex (h, k) is given by ...
... y = a(x -h)² +k . . . . . . . for some vertical scale factor "a".
We can find the value of "a" by substituting the coordinates of a point that is not the vertex. Here, that point is the y-intercept: (0, -17).
... y = a(x -2)² -5 . . . . . initial form of the equation for the parabola
... -17 = a(-2)² -5 . . . . . substitute y-intercept values
... -12 = 4a . . . . . . . . . . add 5, simplify
... -12/4 = a = -3
The desired equation is ... y = -3(x -2)² -5.
