Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
I don't think you need the quadratic formula for this equation. It just factors into (b - 2)(b - 2), but I'll do it because you requested it.
Formula

Givens
a = 1
b = - 4
c = 4
Solution
x = - - 4 +/- sqrt((-4^2) - 4*1*4)
====================
2*1
x = 4 +/- sqrt (16 - 16)
==========
2
x = 4/2
x = 2
There are 2 roots but both of them are the same. Some teachers say there is only 1 root. I'm in that group.
Answer:
x+9
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x, going up 9
that is y=x, going up 9
if you wnat to go up, subtract 9 from y
y -9 = x
y=x+9
convert back to f(x)
f(x) = x+9
Answer:
The vertices are (-16,-5) and (14,-5)
The foci are (-26,-5) and (24,-5)
