What is the y-value of the vertex of 4x2 + 8x - 8?

  -12

Step-by-step explanation:

To put the equation into vertex form, you can factor out the leading coefficient, then add and subtract a value equal to the square of half the x-coefficient (inside parentheses).

  = 4(x^2 +2x) -8

  = 4(x^2 +2x +1) -8 -4

  = 4(x +1)^2 -12

The y-value of the vertex is -12.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
