Follow-up Question
Sorry for the follow up question but can I get a deeper explanation on the x intercept.
Why does -2(x+1)2+8 = 0,
From their why do we just take (x+1)2 and how is that just "+".
To add on, how does x+1 = 2,
Then, from their why do we get x = +2 and -1
and how does that give me x = -3, 1.
Im sorry about all of the questions. During class when we were learning this I got overwhelmed due to the teacher moving so fast. I nver got a chance to ask her anything. I was completely clueless for this part.
