C a rectangle. brainily says this is too short so I am writing more
Answer:
x = - 4 ± 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = x² + 8x + 4
To find the zeros let f(x) = 0, that is
x² + 8x + 4 = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x² + 8x = - 4
To solve using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 4 + 16
(x + 4)² = 12 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 4 = ±
= ± 2
( subtract 4 from both sides )
x = - 4 ± 2
Thus the zeros are
x = - 4 - 2
and x = - 4 + 2
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) then f(x) + c is a vertical translation of f(x)
• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units
• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units
Here g(x) = f(x) - 2 ← with c = - 2 < 0
Then g(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted down 2 units
