Which function in vertex form is equivalent to fx = 4+x2-2x

f(x) = (x-1)² + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)  = 4+x²-2x   or f(x)  = x²- 2x + 4   > eq 1

consider the top-most choice

f(x) = (x-1)² + 3 = x² + 2·x·(-1) + 1²  +  3

f(x) = x² - 2x+ 1  +  3

f(x) = x² - 2x+ 4  > compare this with eq 1 above (they match!)

hence f(x) = (x-1)² + 3 is the answer

i can you answer this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
