l think that the answer is (-3,2). pliz can you mark me the brainest.
<span> 1.04 x 10^2 in standard form = 104

The answer is <span>a.)(x - 4)2 = 3.
(x - a)</span>² = b can be expressed as:
x² - 2ax + a² = b ⇒ x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0
Our equation is x² - 8x + 13 = 0.
The general formula is x² - 2ax + (a² - b) = 0
Thus:
8x = 2ax and a² - b = 13
Divide both sides of the first equation (8x = 2ax) by x:
8 = 2a ⇒ a = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Replace a in the second equation (a² - b = 13):
4² - b = 13 ⇒ b = 4² - 13 = 16 - 13 = 3
Now when we have a and b, let's just replace them in the general equation:
(x - a)² = b
(x - 4)² = 3
Answer: Option E. 22
Solution:
Each dot represents a different brand of chocolate, then to determine how many brands are included in this data set, we only have to count the number of dots: 1+4+3+5+2+3+2+1+1=22
