EXPLANATION
We want to find the vertex of

We complete the square to obtain,

The first three terms forms a perfect square trinomial.

The vertex form is

This equation is in the form;

where (h,k)=(-2,1) is the vertex.
Answer:
Slope = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(x1, y1) = (-5, -3)
(x2, y2) = (-1, 1)
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (1 - -3) / (-1 - -5) = 4 / 4 = 1
Slope = 1
Answer:
a² + 4 a + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
( a + 2 ) ( a + 2 )
Expand brackets
a² + 2 a + 2 a + 4
Simplify
a² + 4 a + 4
Your answer would be x-4=17.
4 less than (#) is 17.
That number would be 21.
21-4=17

5x³ + 8x² - 7x - 6
1)
x + 2 is a factor because when using synthetic division, the remainder is zero.
-2 | 5 8 -7 -6
<u>| ↓ -10 4 6 </u>
5 -2 -3 0 ← remainder is zero
2)
x + 2 is not a factor because when using synthetic division, the remainder is not zero.
-1 | 5 8 -7 -6
<u>| ↓ -5 -3 10 </u>
5 3 -10 4 ← remainder is not zero
