(₋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)
The triangle must be isosceles, due to the perpendicular bisector. Therefore, the expression 20 - 15 can be used to yield an answer of B. 5.
Hope this helps!
The transformation is done to y=1/x to get y=1/4x-12. We defined a turning point in the equation which will indicate the point in the graph.
We changed the form from y=x to y=x+c. In this case, we use 1/2 for the and constant C value which is -12.
