Answer:
y = -(x + 1)² + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -x² − 2x + 3
First, factor the leading coefficient from the first two terms.
y = -(x² + 2x) + 3
Complete the square.
y = -(x² + 2x + 1 − 1) + 3
Simplify and factor.
y = -(x² + 2x + 1) + 1 + 3
y = -(x + 1)² + 4
A group of k elements can be chosen from a group of n elements in

ways.

There are 20 different 3-member groups.
Answer:
(-x-7)(x+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
In general the binomial expansion is

So in our case, because we want ascending powers of x we'll write,

We need to calculate the binomial coefficients:






has two points of discontinuity at
, where
.
We have

so as long as
, we can cancel
and be left with
. Then as
, we have

The limit exists, so the discontinuity at -1 is removable (so definitely not C or D).
Meanwhile,

does not exist, so the discontinuity at 1 is non-removable, making A the correct answer.
