Answer:
x = -9,1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (x + 4)^2 - 25
Set the function equal to zero
0 = (x + 4)^2 - 25
Add 25 to each side
25 = (x + 4)^2 - 25+25
25 = (x + 4)^2
Take the square root of each side
±sqrt(25) = sqrt( (x + 4)^2 )
±5 = x+4
Separate into two equations
5 = x+4 - 5 = x+4
Subtract 4 from each side
5-4 = x+4-4 -5-4 = x+4-4
1 = x -9 =x
