Find the values of a and b such that x^2-4x+9=(x+a)^2+b

Mathematics
1 answer:
m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a = -2

b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can identify the right side of the equation as completing the square. So, we simply complete the square for x² - 4x + 9 to find our answer,

Step 1: Isolate xs

x² - 4x = -9

Step 2: Complete the square

x² - 4x + 4 = -9 + 4

(x - 2)² = -5

Step 3: Move -5 over

(x - 2)² + 5

And we have our answer!

the vertices of triangle PQR are P(-3, 8), Q(-6, -4), and R(1, 1). If you reflect triangle PQR across the x-axis, what will be t
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The coordinates of the vertices of the image will be:

P'=(-3,-8)

Q'=(-6,4)

R'=(1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you reflect a point P=(x,y) across the x-axis, the coordinates of the image will be P'=(x,-y), then:

P=(-3,8)=(xp,yp)→xp=-3, yp=8→P'=(xp,-yp)→P'=(-3,-8)

Q=(-6,-4)=(xq,yq)→xq=-6, yq=-4→Q'=(xq,-yq)=(-6,-(-4))→Q'=(-6,4)

R=(1,1)=(xr,yr)→xr=1, yr=1→R'=(xr,-yr)→R'=(1,-1)
