Answer:

The student incorrectly used the Distributive property!

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distributive property says a(b+c)=ab+ac

In this problem the answer SHOULD be 3n-15, however the <u>student forgot to distribute the 3 to the -5</u>!

Answer: The student did not distribute correctly

Step-by-step explanation: The student did not distribute correctly. The student has 3n correct because he multiplied 3 by n but -5 is not correct. He was supposed to distribute the 3 to the -5 to get -15.

The graph of quadratic function f(x) has a minimum at (-2,- 3 and passes through the point (2, 13). The functio
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :  

the vertex -form of quadratic function f(x) is : f(x) = a(x+b)²+c

the vertex : (- b , c )  

means : (-2,-3)   so :  -b = -2   and  c = - 3      so  :  b =2  and  c = -3

f(x) = a(x+2)²-3

calculate : a  

the graph  passes through the point (2, 13) : f(2)=13

means : a(2+2)²-3 = 13

16a - = 13

16a = 16   so : a = 1

f(x) is represented by the equation f(x) = (x+2)²-3

The graph of  f(x) color red  and g(x) blue

is the y-intercept when g(x) greater g(x) than f(x) is when x=0  so : y = 6
