-x^2 + 4x + 4 How do you factor this in factoring the square?
The negative confuses me a lot!

Celeste wants to have her hair cut and permed and also go to lunch. she knows she will need $50. the perm cost twice as much as her haircut and she needs $5 for lunch. how much does the perm cost?

Aretha wanted to gather data about the cost of local bowling leagues in her area. she plotted the data and determined that the average bowling league costs consist of a one-time registration fee and a monthly fee modeled by the equation y = 15x + 20. identify and interpret the y-intercept in this model. the y-intercept is 20. this is the cost per month. the y-intercept is 20. this is the cost of registration. the y-intercept is 15. this is the cost of registration. the y-intercept is 15. this is the cost per month.

How is the equation of this circle written in standard form? x2 + y2 - 6x + 14y = 142 a) (x - 3)2 + (y + 7)2 = 200 b) (x+ 3)2 + (y - 7)2 = 200 (x - 6)2 + (y + 14)2 = 142 d) (x+6)2 + (y- 14)2 = 142
