Nonlinear Equations in One Variable and Systems of Equations

SAT Math· difficulty 4/5

Convert y=x2+4x1y = -x^2 + 4x - 1 to vertex form.

  • A

    y=(x2)2+3y = -(x-2)^2 + 3

    check_circle
  • B

    y=(x2)2+3y = (x-2)^2 + 3

  • C

    y=(x2)23y = -(x-2)^2 - 3

  • D

    y=(x+2)2+3y = -(x+2)^2 + 3

Explanation

y=(x24x)1=(x24x+4)+41=(x2)2+3y = -(x^2 - 4x) - 1 = -(x^2 - 4x + 4) + 4 - 1 = -(x-2)^2 + 3.
