In other words, what is <em>y</em> if <em>x</em> is 0.
Look on the graph, a line passes through point, 
So we can conclude that at that very point the input <em>x</em> was 0 and the output <em>y</em> was -3 therefore,
Hope this helps.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4
f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4
f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4 Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.
f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4
We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9
So that means that
2a + 4 = - 6 Subtract 4 from both sides.
2a = - 6 - 4
2a = - 10 Divide by 2
a = - 10/2
a = - 5.
But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.
a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9
(a + 2)^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides
sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3
a+2 = 3
a = 1.
Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for 2(a) + 4 = - 6
You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.
a + 2 = - 3
a = - 3 - 2
a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.
===========
This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.
Answer:
Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Cost of purchasing supplies = $85
Cost charged for cleaning a pool = $40
Let,
x be the number of pools cleaned.
y be the profit
Profit = Cost of pools cleaned - purchase price of supplies
y = 40x - 85
Hence,
Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.
Answer: it might be 8
Step-by-step explanation: Write a distance formula: x^2 - x^1
substituted -3.8, 4.2 into x^2 - x^1 and u will get 4.2 + 3.8 and u will calculate and it gets 8
I hope its right
