An algebra tile configuration. Only the Product spot is shown. 15 tiles are in the Product spot in 6 columns with 6 rows. First row: 1 + x squared, 5 negative x. Below the + x squared tile are 5 negative x tiles. Off to the right are 4 negative tiles in a separate column.
How many zero pairs must be added to the function
f(x) = x2 – 10x – 4 in order to begin writing the function in vertex form?

4
10
21
25

a. the are of the rectangle is 18.25

b. 18.25 times two is 36.50

rae me : d

correct answer:

b.(19,-2)

shift 4 units up, and 1 unit left.

it will translate f(x) = 3^x to g(x) = 3^(x+1) + 4

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.
