PLEASE OPEN THIS, I NEED HELP!!!! WHAT BELONGS IN THE ? AND WHY?
1 answer:
Answer: see below
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Write each equation in y = mx + b format where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Left side: -4 ≤ x < -1
If you continue the line through the y-axis it will pass through (0, 4) --> b = 4
The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1
y = (-1)x + (4) --> y = -x + 4
Right side: -1 < x < 4
The line passes through (0,0) --> b = 0.
The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1
y = (-1)x + (0) --> y = -x

Answer:
x = - 4 ± 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = x² + 8x + 4
To find the zeros let f(x) = 0, that is
x² + 8x + 4 = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x² + 8x = - 4
To solve using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 4 + 16
(x + 4)² = 12 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 4 = ± = ± 2
( subtract 4 from both sides )
x = - 4 ± 2
Thus the zeros are
x = - 4 - 2 and x = - 4 + 2
