How many real solutions does y = (-x + 4)^2 have?

Short answer 1

Comment
There are a couple of ways of doing this to show there there is just one solution. The most easily done way is to graph the quadratic. I have done that for you. 

Notice that the quadratic touches the x axis, it does not cut it in two places or no places. When a quadratic just touches the x axis, it has only one solution.

Method 2
The quadratic is shown in the vertex form. If there was a number outside he bracket showing squares then you would get

y = (-x + 4)^2 + 4 (drawn in blue)
y = (-x + 4)^2 -  6 (drawn in green) 

These two examples show what the vertex form would look like if the axis was cut in 2 places or no places and there would be no solution for the first one and 2 places for the second one.

For the first question the answer is a, for the second c, for the third d, for the 4th b, for the 5th a
