How many zero pairs must be added to the function
f(x) = x2 – 10x – 4 in order to begin writing the function in vertex form?

4
10
21
25

Sagot :

1 zero pair of 25 was added to bring given function into vertex form.

What is a Zero Pair ?

A zero Pair is the set of two numbers which when added together gives 0.

The function given is

f(x) = x² -10x -4

To convert it into the vertex form

y = a(x-h)²  +k

f(x) = x² -10x +25 -25 -4

f(x) = x² -10x +5² -25-4

f(x) = (x-5)² -29

Therefore this is the given function's vertex form and

1 zero pair of 25 was added to bring it into that.

Therefore Option D is the answer.
