g(x) = -(x + 1)^2 - 3
Let's simplify this equation
g(x) = -(x^2 + 2x + 1) - 3
Distribute the negative sign
g(x) = -x^2 - 2x + 1 - 3
Combine like terms
g(x) = -x^2 - 2x - 2
The value of a = -2 and this value is LESS THAN 0
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the slope of a line you must find where the points intersect, use the formula for slope, substitute values, and simplify if needed.
In this case we were already given the points for slope:


Slope formula:

Now substitute:

Solve using KCC: (Keep, Change, Change)


=
Because the slope isn't a negative you do not need to simplify the answer.
Hope this helps.
12 to the second power is equal to 144
(12 x 12)
Answer:
multiply by 10 on both sides
that is to get rid of the denominator
