Replace f(x) in the equation with what it equals:

Distribute 4 to each term in parentheses:



The answer is
C.
Answer:
x = -5 ±4sqrt(3)
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 5)^2 = 48
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x + 5)^2) = ±sqrt(48)
x+5 = ±sqrt(16*3)
x+5 = ±4sqrt(3)
Subtract 5 from each side
x = -5 ±4sqrt(3)
Answer: They are parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are parallel , then they must have the same slope and if two lines are perpendicular , the product of their slope must be -1.
To check this , we must calculate the slope of the two lines given.
Slope = 
from the first point
= 2
= 1
= 5
= -1
substituting the values
slope 1 = 1 - 2 / -3 - 5
slope1 = -1 / -8
slope 1 = 1/8
Using the same format to calculate the slope of the second line
= -2
= 0
= -1
= 15
slope 2 = 0 - (-2) / 15 - (-1)
slope 2 = 2/16
slope 2 = 1/8
Since slope 1 = slope 2 , this implies that the lines are parallel
