Answer:
C.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = (x - 3)^2
This is in the form y= a(x-h)^2 +k where (h,k) is the vertex
The vertex is at (3,0)
y = x^2 - 4
This is in the form y= a(x-h)^2 +k where (h,k) is the vertex
The vertex is at (0,-4)
The distance between the points is found by
d = sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y2)^2)
= sqrt(( 0-3)^2 + (-4-0)^2)
= sqrt( 9 + 16)
= sqrt(25)
= 5
