I think A since working backwards and looking for a pattern wouldn't help, maybe C but im not sure
39. FALSE
40. Where is the answer?
Answer:
a = 1, b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the right side and compare the coefficients of like terms on both sides, that is
right side
(x - a)² + b ← expand factor using FOIL
= x² - 2ax + a² + b
Compare to left side x² - 2x + 2
Compare the coefficients of the x- term
- 2a = - 2 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
a = 1
Compare the constant terms
a² + b = 2 ( substitute a = 1 )
1² + b = 2
1 + b = 2 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
b = 1
Thus a = 1, b = 1
Circle graph is the best answer and the right one.
