You can rewrite the multiplication using properties of the exponents.
We have that if the base is the same, the exponents are added.
For this case, we have:
Base = (- 4)
Exponent = 1
Applying properties of exponents:
(-4) (- 4) = ((- 4) ^ 1) ((- 4) ^ 1) = (- 4) ^ (1 + 1) = (- 4) ^ 2
answer:
the expression is the same as (-4) ^ 2
Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-y = 2, that means y = opposite of 2, which is -2

Answer:
what is the question
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Choice B
y = (x+3)^2 - 1
==================================================
Recall that vertex form is y = a(x-h)^2 + k with the vertex being (h,k)
From the given graph, it shows that (h,k) = (-3,1) is the vertex. So we plug this pair of values into the general function above to get
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
y = 1(x-(-3))^2 + (-1)
y = (x+3)^2 - 1
which is the final answer
note: a = 1 is the case for all four answer choices, so we don't have to worry about the value of 'a'
