The error is when she added 4 to both sides.

Instead, she should divide both sides by -4 to undo the multiplication. Specifically, the multiplication between the -4 term and the (x-2)^2 term.

This is one possible correction of what her steps could look like.

y = -4(x-2)^2\\\\\\0 = -4(x-2)^2\\\\\\\frac{0}{-4} = \frac{-4(x-2)^2}{-4}\\\\\\0 = (x-2)^2\\\\\\(x-2)^2 = 0\\\\\\\sqrt{(x-2)^2} = \sqrt{0}\\\\\\x-2 = 0\\\\\\x-2+2 = 0+2\\\\\\x = 2\\\\\\

In the third step, I'm dividing both sides by -4. In the sixth step, I'm applying the square root to both sides to undo the squaring operation. Then two steps later, I'm adding 2 to both sides to undo the "-2", which helps fully isolate x.

The only solution is x = 2, so it's the only x intercept. You can verify this answer by plugging x = 2 back into the original equation at the very top. You should end up with y = 0.

Note: The term "root" is another name for "x intercept".

What is the slope of y= -1/2x - 5?​
trapecia [35]

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in slope intercept form:

y=Mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the t intercept

Compare y=Mx+b to the equation y=-1/2x-5

-1/2 is being multiplied by x, so it is the slope.
