Answer:
if its thousandths, its 4 x 10^-1. If you mean 4000, its 4 x 10^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Your parabola should look like this image. The vertex is at (-1, 9), and you can use any of the x-intercepts (-4, 0) & (2, 0) or the y-intercept (0, 8) as a second point.
12x + 4
divide 4 from each monomial
12x/4 = 3x
4/4 = 1
4(3x + 1) is a equivalent expression.
