If we set the equation equal to 0, we can factor it to find its roots:
x² + 4x + 4 = 0
(x + 2)(x + 2) = 0
x = -2
This graph has one root, a double root, at -2. This means that a single point, which must be the vertex of the parabola, touches the x-axis at (-2, 0)
Answer:
15 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Week 1: 1,050 ≠ 0

Week 3: 970 ≠ 70
Week 4: 930 ≠ 105
Week 5: 890 ≠ 140
Week 6: 850 ≠ 175
Week 7: 810 ≠ 210
Week 8: 770 ≠ 245
Week 9: 730 ≠ 280
Week 10: 690 ≠ 315
Week 11: 650 ≠ 350
Week 12: 610 ≠ 385
Week 13: 570 ≠ 420
Week 14: 530 ≠ 455
Week 15: 490 = 490
If you show that the example is showing a false statement then you are disproving the example/problem.
