Answer:

Option d. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form a quadratic equation is written in the form of f(x) = (x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is said to be the vertex of the equation.

Now we will try to convert the given quadratic function in the vertex form by adding zero pairs in the equation.

f(x) = x² - 10x - 4

     = x² - 10x - 4 + (25 - 25) [Since (x² - 2.(5x) + 25) = (x - 5)² so we have added a zero pair 25]

     = (x - 5)² - 4 - 25

     = (x - 5)² - 29

     = (x - 5)² + (-29)

Therefore, 25 is the zero pair that must be added to the given function to convert it in the vertex form

Option d. 25 is the answer.

I hope this helps you


f (x)=x^2-10x+25-29


f (x)=(x-5)^2-29


vertex (-(-5), -29)


vertex (5,-29)

Identify the function shown in this graph.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions are written in slope-intercept form.

The graph crosses the y-axis at (0,-2), so the y-intercept is -2.

You can eliminate D because its y-intercept is +2, not -2.

(1,1) and (0,-2) are points on the line.

The slope of the line is (-2-1)/(0-1) = 3

You can eliminate B because its slope is ⅓.

Eliminate C because its slope is -3, not 3.

Answer B

How do you solve a perfect square trinomial??
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's an example:

x^2 + 6x + 9 = 0

First factorise it:

(x + 3)(x + 3) = 0

So the solution is  x = -3 (multiplicity 2)

That is there are 2 roots both -3.
