Which of the following tables shows the correct steps to transform x2 + 8x + 15 = 0 into the form (x - p)2 = q?
[p and q are integers] (5 points)
step 1x2 + 8x + 15 - 1 = 0 - 1
step 2x2 + 8x + 14 = -1
step 3(x + 4)2 = -1
step 1x2 + 8x + 15 - 2 - 0 - 2
step 2x² + 8x + 13 = -2
step 3(x + 4)2 = -2
step 1x2 + 8x + 15 + 1 = 0 + 1
step 2x2 + 8x + 16 = 1
step 3(x + 4)2 = 1
step 1x2 + 8x + 15 + 2 = 0 + 2
step 2x2 + 8x + 17 = 20
step 3(x + 4)2 = 2

What values of c and d make the equation true?

State whether weight is a function of height for the six students and explain. a. yes, height is a function of weight because two students weigh 165 pounds but have different heights. b. no, height is not a function of weight because two students weigh 165 pounds but have different heights. c. yes, weight is a function of height because for each value of height there is one corresponding value of weight. d. no, weight is not a function of height because there is not enough data to determine a function.

Let f(x) = 3 − x . find the average rate of change of f(x) from x = a to x = a + h and simplify your answer so that no single factor of h is left in the denominator.
