Question

Write f(x)=5 -(x – 4)2 in the form f(x)= ax+bx+c.

Answer 1

Answer:

$f(x) = 5 - (x - 4)^2$.

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = 5 - (x - 4)^2$

$f(x) = 5 - (x-4)*(x-4)$

$f(x) = 5 - (x^2 - 4x - 4x + 16)$

$f(x) = 5 - (x^2 - 8x + 16)$

$f(x) = 5 - x^2 + 8x - 16$

$f(x) = -x^2 + 8x - 11$.

Hope this helps!
