To qualify as a polynomial, the expression in question:
* Consists of one or more terms * Variables are only with positive whole exponents* No variables in the denominator of any term (the coefficients however, can be fractions.)In that case the answer is most likely:
Answer:
The value of k is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know we can convert function's quadratic form to vertex form by completing the square.
f(x)=x2?6x+14
We will add and subtract 9 to our equation in order to complete the square.

Upon completing the square and combining like terms we will get,

Upon comparing Willie's vertex form with our expression we can see that k is 5.
Therefore, the value of k is 5.
