4. The equation f (x) = 4x^2 - 12x + 13 is written as the equivalent function f (x) (2x-3)^2 + k. What is the vale of k?

oobleck · Answer

.97x = 14000 well, the zeros are -9 and 2, so ... Or, you could just do it yourself f(x)=-1/8 x^2+3/2 x f(2) = -1/8 (2^2) + 3/2 (2) ... well, (2x-3)^2 = 4x^2 - 12x + 9 so, ...
