x^2 + 5x = -2
x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0
We need to use the quadratic formula.
In the formula, a = 1, b = 5 and c = 2.
See picture for quadratic formula. Plug in the value for a, b, and c into the formula and do the math.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y = x² then y = x² + c is a vertical translation of y = x²
• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units
• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units
Here c = - 12 < 0
Thus y = x² - 12 is the graph of y = x² shifted 12 units down → b
1.c
2.a
c because they are on the inside and on alternate sides, and a because they are corresponding angles.
