Question

Use completing the square to rewrite the function in vertex form. f(x)=x2+6x−5

Answer 1

Answer:

f(x) = (x + 3)² - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² + 6x - 5

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 6x

f(x) = x² + 2(3)x + 9 - 9 - 5

     = (x + 3)² - 14 ← in vertex form
