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:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Only 1 because
1/1 = 1
2/1 = 2
The answer can't be 0 because we can't divide by zero.
The answer can't be 2 because you can't divide 1 by 2 without having a number with decimal places
Same thing for the 4
F ( x ) = ( x + 3 )² - 8 = x² + 6 x + 9 - 8 = x² + 6 x + 1
For the quadratic function:
Axis of symmetry is: x = -b/ 2 a, where: a = 1, b = 6 ( because it it in the form:
y = a x² + b x + c ).
Therefore: x = -6 / 2 = -3.
f ( - 3 ) = ( - 3 + 3 )² - 8 = 0 - 8 = - 8
And D = b² - 4 a c = 6² - 4 * 1 * 1 = 36 - 4 = 32 ( greater than 0 ). It means that there are 2 real solutions.
Answer: x = - 3 , vertex : ( - 3 , - 8 ), Number of real solutions : 2.
a 1 = - 3 , a 2 = - 3 , a 3 = - 8 , a 4 = 2.
