-x^2-4x-4=0 x=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if i take (-1) common then i will be left with this equation \[{{-1}(x^2+4x+4)}=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now -1 cannot be equal tozero hence \[x^2 + 4x + 4 =0\] now solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is \[(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are using 1 for x. we are doing a parabola.
