Inside the square root shouldn't be negative, so x must be negative in order to form positive number inside the root.
if x = 0, y = 0
if y = -1, y = -1
if y = -4, y = -2
if y = -9, y = -3
the points lie on the graph (0,0), (-1,-1), (-4,-2), (-9,-3)
True, False, True, False. You're Welcome!
Answer is a step by step so you divide
D. 1/4
Explanation:
a perfect square is written in the form
(1)
In our problem, we have this perfect square:
(2)
with C being unknown. However, by comparing (1) and (2), we know that

So, we find

and therefore, the missing term must be

so the complete square is

The correct answer is -15 because the absolute value is 15 but there is a negative outside the absolute value lines making it negative :)
