Ok, first group x terms
f(x)=(x²+4x)-8
factor out quadratic coefient (no need but that's the step)
f(x)=1(x²+4x)-8
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
4/2=2, (2)²=4
add positive and negative of it insides the parenthasees
f(x)=1(x²+4x+4-4)-8
factor perfect square
f(x)=1((x+2)²-4)-8
distribute
f(x)=1(x+2)²-4-8
f(x)=1(x+2)²-12
and, now if we wanted to find the x intercepts where f(x)=0 then
0=1(x+2)²-12
12=(x+2)²
+/-2√3=x+2
-2+/-2√3=x
x=-2+2√3 or -2-2√3
that is where the x intercept are
and completed square form is
f(x)=(x+2)²-12

Jen is twelve years old and her mom is 38. 38 plus 12 is 50
Answer:
The student GPA is 3.1875
Step-by-step explanation:
First we calculate the grade point by multiplying the grade with the weight;
= (3.9 * 5) + (2.1 * 3) + (2.9 * 4) + (3.4 * 4)
= 19.5 + 6.3 + 11.6 + 13.6
= 51
Total weight = 5+3+4+4=16
GPA = 51/16=3.1875
