Since we want it in the form: (x - a)², let's first expand (x - a)² and then equate for the coefficients.
(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²
x² + 4x - 15 = x² - 2ax + a²
Now, let's focus on the middle term.
4x = -2ax
4 = -2a
a = -2
Thus, we know that a = -2
Then, we can say (x + 2)² = x² + 4x - 15
x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 4x - 15
Thus, 19 units are needed in order to complete the square to produce:
(x + 2)²
Answer:
-4x-32 Can i please get a brainliest because this correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
−4(x+7)−4
Distribute:
=(−4)(x)+(−4)(7)+−4
=−4x+−28+−4
Combine Like Terms:
=−4x+−28+−4
=(−4x)+(−28+−4)
=−4x+−32
Answer:
=−4x−32
Answer:
<h2>
y = 3x - 16</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of line with a given slope of a and containing a given point (x₀, y₀):
y - y₀ = a(x - x₀)
a = 3, x₀ = 5, y₀ = -1
So:
y - (-1) = 3(x - 5)
y = 3x - 15 - 1
<u>y = 3x - 16</u>
