How does the graph of y=sqrt(x)-3 compare to graph of y=sqrt(x)

with that template in mind, let's check about

so √(x) -3 is really √(x) in disguise, √(x) - 3 is just √(x) with a down vertical shift of 3 units.

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1
