Answer:

q = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x²-8x = 10 (divide both sides by -2)

x² + 4x = -5 (Apply completing the square method)

x² + 4x + (4/2)²= -5 + (4/2)²

x² + 4x + 2²= -5 + 2²    (reduce left hand side using a²+2ab+b² =  (a+b)² )

(x+2)² = -5 +4

(x+2)² = -1

(x+2)² + 1 = 0   (multiply both sides by -2)

(-2)(x+2)² + 1 (-2) = 0

-2[x - (-2)]² + (-2) = 0  ---> compare this with -2(x-p)² + q = 0

We can see that p = 2 and q = -2

What is the degree of the function f(x)=x⁴-5x+8+x²?​
DENIUS [597]

First put it in decreasing power according to x.

x^4-5x+8+x^2

=x^4+x^2-5x+8

Now this question is asking what is the highest degree of x you see in this function.

4 of course.

Therefore the answer to his question is degree of 4.

Done!

Answer:

Slope = ⅓ Y-intercept = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

by transforming the equation to y= ⅓x -2

then it becomes Y= ⅓x +(-2)

then you should get m= ⅓ and b = -2
