Answer:
a positive even number.
Step-by-step explanation:
I suggest plugging in random positive even numbers and finding a pattern. (-12)^2 = 144. (-12)^ 4= 20,736. this is because two negatives, when multiplied, turn to a positive. the n is how many times negative 12 is multiplied with itself
The veretx is normally the minimum value
hack:
for f(x)=ax²+bx+c
the x value of the vertex is -b/2a
so
f(x)=1x²-16x+71
x value is -(-16)/(2*1)=16/2=8
find f(8) to find y value of vertex
f(8)=8²-16(8)+71
f(8)=64-128+71
f(8)=7
the vertex is (8,7)
the minimum value is 7
17. Yes!! SAS theorem
18. Yes !! SSS theorem
19. Yes !! SSS theorem
20. I don’t think so
Answer:
-3+(-5)
Checking our answer:
Adding this does indeed give -8
