You use additive inverse to combine like terms that are on opposite sides of the equation.
ie.
3x + 1 = 6x -12
You use additive inverse to move -12 to the +1

Find f(b-2) if f(x) = x^2-6x+1

$▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪$

The equivalent expression is ~

$f(b - 2) = {b}^{2} - 10b + 17$

$\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}$

Let's evaluate f(b - 2) ~

$f(x) = {x}^{2} - 6x + 1$

$f(b - 2) = (b - 2) {}^{2} -6 (b - 2) + 1$

$\mathcal{ {f(b - 2) = {b}^{2} + 2 {}^{2} - (2 \times b \times 2) - 6b + 12}}$

$f(b - 2) = {b}^{2} + 4 - 4b - 6b + 12 + 1$

$f(b - 2) = {b}^{2} - 10b + 17$

In the adjoining figure O is the centre of the circle the tangent to the circle of radius 6 cm from the exterior point P of the

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Let P be the external point. O be the origin. join O and P get OP and nearest point on the circle from P be A.

Let Q be the point onthe circle in which, tangent make 90° with radius at Q.

PQ = 8 and OQ = 6

we get a right angled triangle PQO right angled at Q.

so, OP^2 = OQ^2 + PQ^2= 8^2 + 6^2 = 64 + 36 =1==

therefore OP =10cm

we need nearest point from P, which is PA

PA = OP - OA= 10 -6=4cm
