Answer:
(x - 2)² - 30
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 4x
f(x) = x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4 - 26 = (x - 2)² - 30
Answer:
16, 56, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like you have to put in each cell the multiplication of the row and the column, so the columns are 2, 7, 4 etc., and the row is always 8.
First cell: 2x8 = 16
Second cell: 7x8 = 56
and so on
It teaches you to apply the multiplication in a random sequence; you should be able to do this in your head.
