Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using brackets will really help.
y = (x^2 + 4x + ... ) - 5 You are trying to complete the square. The square in this case is a trinomial that is squared.
To do that, you take 1/2 the linear term (4x)/2, drop the x (4/2), and square the result (4/2)^2. The number is 2^2 which is 4.
So far what you have is
y = (x^2 + 4x + 4) - 5
Now you just can't add 4 without adjusting it somehow. If you do, the whole question will change it's value. Because you added 4 inside the brackets, you must subtract 4 outside the brackets.
What that means is 4 inside - 4 outside. So it looks like this
y = (x^2 + 4x + 4) - 5 - 4
Now you continue on
y = (x + 2)^2 - 9 The 4 combines with the 5 to make nine.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
13x because you are saying the product of 13 that means 13x
That would be b

Exponential growth is the function

Exponential decay is the function

So, the basic difference is that in growth the base is more than 1, and in decay the base is more than 0 but less than 1.
