F(x) = a.x . We ha to calculate a.
Back to the table, let's rewrite the coordinates
A(0,0)
B(2,-1)
C(4,-2)
D(7,-3.5)
We know that constant is called slope or coefficient is equal to:
a=y/x
Apart from A, in each of the coordinates y/x =-1/2 & this is the slope of the equation f(x) = (-1/2)x
So that answer is in this picture that I wrote on my white board, count all of the hundreds I drew on the board.
Answer:
(x + 9)² = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 18x + 57 = 12 ( subtract 57 from both sides )
x² + 18x = - 45
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides
x² + 2(9)x + 81 = - 45 + 81
(x + 9)² = 36
