Answer:

m + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Start at the end and work backwards to the beginning of the sentence. Most times these work like that. I'll start with "m", then I know that 15 more than "m" is m + 15. It would be the same thing to express that particular problem as 15 + m because addition is commutative. But subtraction is not.

"15 less than m" is m - 15, wheras

"m less than 15" is 15 - m.

This matters because if m = 10, for example, 10 - 15 = -5 where 15 - 10 = 5

5 and -5 are not the same answer.

How do you find the y coordinate of the vertex in a quadratic function?

Leya [2.2K]

To find the vertex of a quadratic equation, determine the coefficients of the equation, then use the vertex x-coordinate formula to find the value of x at the vertex. Once the x-coordinate is found, plug it into the original equation to find the y-coordinate.

Solve x2 + 4x – 4 = 0

Damm [24]

Answer:

Quadratic Equations! Yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, there are three methods to solving this:

1.Quadratic Formula

2.Factoring

3. Completing the square

Now, Based on the answers, I think it would be better if we used Quadratic Formula, as you cannot get the answer easily with factoring, and I'm a bit rusty on completing the square.

So, Quadratic Formula! To solve it using this method, we have to find x using this: $x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}$ (the +- before the square root means it could be both positive or negative)
