Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 3x - 40 = 0
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 40) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)
The factors are - 8 and + 5, since
- 8 × 5 = - 40 and - 8 + 5 = - 3, thus
(x - 8)(x + 5) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = 8
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
------------------------------------------------------
Given
4x² - 81 = 0 ← this is a difference of squares and factors in general as
a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b), thus
4x² - 81
=(2x)² - 9²
= (2x + 9)(2x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
2x + 9 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 9 ⇒ x = -
2x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 9 ⇒ x =
Answer:
The last choice is the one you want
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, a parabola has a minimum value if it is a positive parabola, one that opens upward. The first and the third parabolas are negative so they open upside down. That leaves us with choices 2 and 4. We find the side to side and up or down movement by finishing the completion of the square that has already been started for us. Do this by factoring what's inside the parenthesis into a perfect square binomial.
The second one factored becomes:
which reflects a shift to the right 3 and up 1. Not what we are asked to find.
The fourth one factored becomes:
which reflects a shift to the right 3 and down 5. That's what we want!
