<u>X - Intercept</u>
f(x) = -x² + 4x - 4
0 = -x² + 4x - 4
x = <u>-(4) +/- √((4)² - 4(-1)(-4))</u>
2(-1)
x = <u>-4 +/- √(16 - 16)</u>
-2
x = <u>-4 +/- √(0)
</u> -2<u>
</u> x = <u>-4 +/- 0
</u> -2<u>
</u> x = <u>-4 + 0</u> x = <u>-4 - 0</u>
-2 -2
x = <u>-4</u> x = <u>-4</u>
-2 -2
x = 2 x = 2
The solution to the problem is {2, 2}, or {2}. The x - intercept of the problem is (2, 0).
<u>Y - Intercept</u>
f(x) = -x² + 4x - 4
f(x) = -(0)² + 4(0) - 4
f(x) = -(0) + 0 - 4
f(x) = -0 + 0 - 4
f(x) = 0 - 4
f(x) = -4
The y - intercept of the problem is (0, -4).

There are 2/8 in 1/4 and 5/10 in 1/2
Answer: -16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be y
Four times a number minus twenty-one can be written as:
(4 × y) - 21 = 4y - 21
Six times the number plus eleven can be written as:
(6 × y) + 11 = 6y + 11
Combining both equations will give:
4y - 21 = 6y + 11
4y - 6y = 11 + 21
-2y = 32
y = 32/-2
y = -16
The number is -16
The pattern is dividing by 2 every time so the next 3 numbers will be 1/8, 1/16, 1/32
