Which of the following describes the graph of y = x² - 225?
1 answer:
Answer:
option 4. The graph has zeroes at x = 15 an x = -15 and it opens upward.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
This is the equation of a vertical parabola open upward (the leading coefficient is positive)
The vertex represent a minimum
The vertex is the point (0,-225)
The axis of symmetry is x=0 (y-axis)
Find the x-intercepts (values of x when the value of y is equal to zero)
For y=0
square root both sides
therefore
The graph has zeroes at x = 15 an x = -15 and it opens upward.

Answer:
(x) = √ x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1) replace f(x) with y
y = x² - 4
step 2) switch the x and y (because every (x, y) has a (y, x))
x = y² - 4
step 3) add 4 to both sides of the equal sign
x + 4 = y²
step 4) take the square root of both sides of the equal sign (the square root symbol cancels out the ²)
√ x + 4 = y
step 5) you know have the inverse of f(x) = x² - 4
(x) = √ x + 4
