Consider the graph of the quadratic function y = –2(x + 2)2 – 1 with no real zeros. what number can be added to the right side of the equation to change it to a function with one real root?

The number is +1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

This is the equation of a vertical parabola with vertex at point (-2,-1)

The function has no real zeros

we know that

If the number +1 is added to the equation on the right side

then

------->

Is a translation one unit up

The vertex of the parabola will be the point (-2,0) and the function will have one real root

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

that is the sum

step-by-step explanation:

there are no other answers without knowing the variables values

b.-4 units

all you   do is count how many times you move
