Respuesta :
(x-2)^2-25
How?
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto (x-2)^2-25[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2-4x+4-25[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2-4x-21[/tex]
Answer:
- a = - 2, b = -25
Step-by-step explanation:
Given quadratic expression:
- x² - 4x - 21
Convert this into vertex form:
- x² - 4x + 4 - 25 =
- (x - 2)² - 25
Compare this with the vertex form to determine the values of a and b:
- a = - 2
- b = -25
