(₋4)²
how i got it -
1st i used the sum-product pattern
x² - 8x + 16
x² -4-4+16
then, found the common fact from the two pairs
x² - 4 - 4 + 16
(-4) - 4(-4)
rewrite in factored form
(x-4)-4(-4)
(-4) (-4)
combine to a square
(-4) (-4)
i believe your answer will be 0.04 or 4/100
OR if you need an equivalent expression, that would be 81/2187
John's function : y = 3.5x - 4
Penny's function : y = 3x + 4
C. John's function has a greater rate of change, because 3.5 > 3
