This can be solved by the method of elimination.

We have been given that the function should decrease over (-4,∞)

So, since its between -4 and ∞ , we can eliminate option A and C. This is because options A and C are actually increasing over (-4,∞) and not decreasing.

So, this leaves us with options B and D. Next we find the vertex of the two functions. The vertex of Option B, that is $-(x+4)^2 +4$ lies at the point (-4,4) and decreases with x over the interval (-4,∞).

Whereas the option D, $-(x-4)^2+4$ has the vertex at (4,4) and hence the interval is not between -4 and infinite.

Hence Option B, $-(x+4)^2 +4$ is the answer asthe function is decreasing over the interval (–4, ∞)

Aiko is finding the sum (4 + 5i) + (–3 + 7i). She rewrites the sum as (–3 + 7)i + (4 + 5)i. Which statement explains the mathema

In this item, it can be seen that from an expression of,
(4 + 5i) + (-3 + 7i)
Aiko transformed the equation by factoring out the i's from the expression and wrote it as,
(4 + 5)i + (-3 + 7)i
Now this is wrong because i there is not a variable but a notation that 5 and 7 are imaginary numbers. In fact, she cannot factor out the i's because it is not present in both -3 and 4. The answer therefore to this item is the last sentence, "Aiko incorrectly used the distributive property by combining ..."

We need to find the hypotenuse of the triangle. We can find that by using the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

Solve with the given values of the triangle:

2² + 4² = c²

4 + 16 = c²

20 = c²

√20 = √c²

4.47 ≈ c
