a. Answer: m = 2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² - 4x + 1
f(m) = m² - 4m + 1 = -3
m² - 4m + 4 = 0
(m - 2)(m - 2) = 0
m = 2

b. Answer: k = 2 and k = 5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² - 7x + 14
f(k) = k² - 7k + 14 = 4
k² - 7k + 10 = 0
(k - 2)(k - 5) = 0
k = 2 k = 5
as the following pic you can see the answer.
#diameter is 8 so radius is 4
Shifting in the y direction is as simple as adding the shift, ie.,
f(x) = x+4.
In the x direction it is trickier because then you have to replace x by (x-a) where a is the shift to the right... (but that wasn't asked here).
