Answer:

y = (x+3)² - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square take the middle term b and divide by 2. Then square the value.

Here b = 6.

So 6/2 = 3

3² = 9

Add 9 to both sides of the equation.

x² + 6x + 8 = 0

x² + 6x + 9 + 8 = 9

(x+3)² - 1 = y

Explain how you change a decimal to a fraction.

Answer:

Decimals can be written in fraction form. To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal number over its place value. For example, in 0.6, the six is in the tenths place, so we place 6 over 10 to create the equivalent fraction, 6/10. If needed, simplify the fraction.
