So to solve problems like these you can work out each equation by substituting the x and y with the coords from the vertex (2,-4) and which ever one is true is the corresponding equation.
Lets try the first one
A) y = 2( x-2)^2-4 this would become
-4 = 2(2-2)^2-4 we solve this and get
-4 = 2(0)-4
-4 = -4
so it seems like A is the correct answer, of course we'd wanna check out the other answers just to be sure.
Lets try one and do C
C) -2 = 2(-4-2)^2+2
-2 = 2(-8)^2+2
-2 = 130
These aren't equal so this can't be our equation
So you can also do one more just to be super sure you have the right answer but I think A is the correct one :)
"The product" means you're multiplying the two numbers.
"a number" refers to a variable.
"increased" means you're adding.
2x + 7 = -36
Answer:
2. d) (x-1)²+(y+5)²=128
3.c) (x-3)²+(y+2)²=841

Step-by-step explanation:
The trick here is to know the distance formula (a formula that helps you find the distance between two points).
Distance formula: distance = 
But now that we know this, we can simply plug in our values and solve!

Now we can tell from our answer that the distance between both points is
