a. Answer: m = 2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² - 4x + 1
f(m) = m² - 4m + 1 = -3
m² - 4m + 4 = 0
(m - 2)(m - 2) = 0
m = 2

b. Answer: k = 2 and k = 5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² - 7x + 14
f(k) = k² - 7k + 14 = 4
k² - 7k + 10 = 0
(k - 2)(k - 5) = 0
k = 2 k = 5
Answer:
x² - 4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying binomials (two terms in an expression), use FOIL. It stands for the first, outside, inside, and last terms in each bracket.
(x−3)(x−1) Expand with FOIL
= x² - x - 3x + 3 Collect like terms
= x² - 4x + 3
