Question

5. Which of the following is an equivalent form of the parabola y = x - 4x - 12 that displays

the x-intercepts?
A) y + 12 = x² - 4x
B) y = (x - 2)2 - 16
C) y=(x-6) (x + 2)
D) y = x (x – 4) - 12

Answer 1

it would be C

My best assumption here is you misplaced x^2 in this function. Mostly what is done with the answer C is the function is being FACTORED, and broken down into its simplest form.

Answer 2

Your answer is B. Tell me if you need graphics)
