Answer:
A. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x² − 12x + 7
To complete the square, we first factor the leading coefficient to make it 1 (which it already is).
Then, we take half the second coefficient, square it, and then add to both sides. So (-12/2)² = (-6)² = 36.
f(x) + 36 = x² − 12x + 36 + 7
Then we factor the perfect square:
f(x) + 36 = (x − 6)² + 7
Then solve for f(x) by subtracting and simplifying:
f(x) = (x − 6)² + 7 − 36
f(x) = (x − 6)² − 29
So the value of a is 6.
Answer:
The sum of x and y is a rational number
Step-by-step explanation:
X+Y or 5+7=12
A rational number is any number that can be divided without going on and on forever.
The slope intercept formula is:
y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
In this case the slope is...
1
The y-intercept is...
(0, -4)
Plug these numbers in for m and b respectively:
y = 1x + (-4)
y = x - 4
