Write y=x^2-4x-1 in vertex form

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dvinal [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  y= (x+2)² − 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I got this answer is by completing the square. The first step though, when looking at this equation, is to see if we can factor it. The way to check is to look at the coefficient for x² which is 1, and the constant, in this case -1. If we multiply those together, we get  −. Now we look at the middle term, 4x. We need to find any numbers that multiply to equal  −  1x² and add to  4x. There aren't any, which means it is not factorable.

Hope I helped

I don’t understand these 3 questions and I need help.
rjkz [21]
Not sure about the first one but the second one is option c (or -3). You just have to factor and find the solutions (so it would be -7 and 4 and then u just add them)

For question 39 the answer is c
