Step-by-step explanation:
You need to complete the square before you can take the square root of both sides.
Subtract 10 from both sides.
To complete the square, you need to add the square of half of the x-term coefficient to both sides.
The x-term coefficient is 7. Half of that is 7/2. Square it to get 49/4. Now we add 49/4 to both sides of the equation.
Now we use the square root property, if

Answer:
Rule: replace x by x - a where a is the number of units that you want to move right. a must be greater than 0. x - - a would move left.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want f(x) to move 3 units to the right.
That would mean that x would be replaced by x - 3. Just to be sure let's try it.
- Suppose you have f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 5 It is graphed as the red line
- Now suppose you want to move 3 units right.
- It would replaced like f(x - 3) = (x - 3)^2 + 6(x - 3) + 5 which is the blue line
- Notice nothing else is changed. The blue line looks exactly like the red line except that it is shifted 3 units to the right.
