Answer:
y = (x - 4)² - 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.
Given
y = (x + 1)(x - 9) ← expand factors using FOIL, thus
y = x² - 8x - 9
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 8x
y = x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 - 16 - 9
= (x - 4)² - 25 ← in vertex form
3(a-b) and 3a-3b. Equivalent
2a(2+b) and 4ab. Not equivalent
4/15
Multiple the numerator by numerator, and denominator by denominator, then simplify
