Can someone explain how to convert a quadratic function in standard form to vertex form using the "complete the square" method?

Oh, please give steps so I can write them down

The required steps are explained below to convert the quadratic function into a perfect square.

<h3>What is the parabola?</h3>

It's the locus of a moving point that keeps the same distance between a stationary point and a specified line. The focus is a non-movable point, while the directrix is a non-movable line.

Let the quadratic function be y = ax² + bx + c.

The first step is to take common the coefficient of x². We have

\rm y = a \left (x^2 + \dfrac{b}{a}x \right) + c

Add and subtract the half of the square the coefficient of x,

\rm y = a \left (x^2 + \dfrac{b}{a}x + \dfrac{b^2}{4a^2} \right) - a \times \dfrac{b^2}{4a^2} + c

Then we have

\rm y = a \left (x + \dfrac{b}{a} \right)^2 - \dfrac{b^2}{4a} + c

These are the required step to get the perfect square of the quadratic function.

More about the parabola link is given below.

Prove that angle W is congruent to angle Y with a two column proof.
iren2701 [21]

Statement 1: WXYZ is a kite

Reason 1: Given

Statement 2: WX = XY and WZ = YZ

Reason 2: Definition of a kite

Statement 3: XZ = XZ

Reason 3: Reflexive property

Statement 4: Triangle WXZ = Triangle YXZ

Reason 4: SSS Congruence

Statement 5: Angle W = Angle Y

Reason 5: CPCTC

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extra notes:

* A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of adjacent congruent sides. In this case, WX and XY is one pair of congruent sides that are adjacent (ie next to each other). So that's why WX = XY. Similarly, WZ = YZ is the second pair of adjacent congruent sides.

* Draw in a segment from point X to point Z to help form two triangles. The two triangles are congruent as proven in statement 4. One triangle is a reflection over the line XZ to get the other triangle.

* Due to this reflection, angle W reflects over line XZ to get angle Y. Proving that angle W = angle Y

* SSS means "side side side", basically saying "you use three pairs of congruent sides to prove two triangles congruent".

* The acronym CPCTC stands for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent"

WILL GIVE BRAINIEST Which of the following is NOT a perfect square? Question 3 options: 36 25 49 81 35 144 100
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I know is because I memorized every square up to 33.

BUT that's probably not helpful to you.

Remember that every perfect square has an odd number of factors. I'm not going to list them all out, but the factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7, and 35, giving it an even number of factors. All the rest have an odd number of factors because of the property of a perfect square: a number times itself gives a perfect square, but that number only counts as 1 factor.
