In the function y = - 2x - 1^2 + 4 what effect does the number 4 have on the graph as compared to the graph of the function y =x^2 A It shifts the graph up 4 units
B It Shifts the graph down 4 units
C It shifts the graph 4 units to the right
D It shifts the graph 4 units the the left

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x

first, let's see what the pattern is.

58 - x = 47

46 - x = 36

x = 9

so this means that the term after 25 is 25 - 9:

the next term in the sequence is 16.
