Mathematics

Answer:

n = -6 or n = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 | -8n – 8 | = -120

Divide both sides by -3:

| -8n – 8 |  = 40

This gives us 2 equations because the expression in the absolute signs can be positive or negative:

-8n - 8 = 40

so -8n = 48

n = -6.

and

-8n - 8 = -40

-8n = -32

n = 4.

Which equation is y = –3x2 – 12x – 2 rewritten in vertex form?
Andrej [43]
<span>The general equation of a quadratic is expressed as y = ax^2+bx+c. To convert the general equation to vertex form, we need to obtain this form:

(y- k)= a(x - h)^2

This could be done by using completing the square method.

</span><span>y = –3x^2 – 12x – 2
</span><span>y + 2 = –3(x^2 + 4x) 
</span>y + 2 -12 <span>= –3(x^2 + 4x + 4) 
</span>y - 10 = -3(x+2)^2

Therefore, the answer is the first option.
