<u>X - Intercept</u>
f(x) = -x² + 4x - 4
0 = -x² + 4x - 4
x = <u>-(4) +/- √((4)² - 4(-1)(-4))</u>
2(-1)
x = <u>-4 +/- √(16 - 16)</u>
-2
x = <u>-4 +/- √(0)
</u> -2<u>
</u> x = <u>-4 +/- 0
</u> -2<u>
</u> x = <u>-4 + 0</u> x = <u>-4 - 0</u>
-2 -2
x = <u>-4</u> x = <u>-4</u>
-2 -2
x = 2 x = 2
The solution to the problem is {2, 2}, or {2}. The x - intercept of the problem is (2, 0).
<u>Y - Intercept</u>
f(x) = -x² + 4x - 4
f(x) = -(0)² + 4(0) - 4
f(x) = -(0) + 0 - 4
f(x) = -0 + 0 - 4
f(x) = 0 - 4
f(x) = -4
The y - intercept of the problem is (0, -4).

Answer:
"subtracting b, then dividing by m"
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for a particular variable, look a the operations that are being performed on that variable. Then "undo" those operations in reverse order.
Here, the operations done to x are ...
• multiply by m
• add b to the product
Using the above recipe, first we "undo" the additon of b. We accomplish that by subtracting b from both sides of the equation. This gives ...
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx . . . . . . . . . simplify
Next, we "undo" the multiplicatin by m. We accomplish that by dividing both sides of the equation by m.
(y -b)/m = mx/m
(y -b)/m = x . . . . . . . . simplify
This is your solution for x:
x = (y - b)/m
We found it by subtracting b, then dividing by m on both sides of the equation.
Answer:
Science is more interesting for me than math and fun!
Step-by-step explanation:
With this information you can write the expression
9.95m + 5 = 7.99m
This demonstrates the cost for each one after m months.
