Answer:
point D: (2, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is given by

where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Given that the vertex of the parabola is (-12, -2), the equation of the parabola is given by

For a = 1,

<span>The
parabola whose minimum is at (−12,−2) is given by the equation

, where a = 24 and b = 112.</span>
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
C. 4(x-3)-x
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
All of the given expressions are equivalent to 3x+12 except selection C. Using that in your equation makes it be ...
... 3(x +1) +9 = 4(x -3) -x
... 3x +12 = 3x -12
... 12 = -12 . . . . . <em>false</em>
There is no value of x that will make this true, hence NO SOLUTION.
_____
<em>Comment on the other choices</em>
3x+12 = 3x+12 has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>, as <u><em>any</em></u> value of x will make this true.
