Answer:

See explanation below to use the vertex form to solve a quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - h)^2 - k = 0, the vertex is (h, -k)

An example below, taking a quadratic equation and completing the square:

x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0

x^2 - 2x = 1

(-2/-2)^2 = 1, add 1 to both sides of the equation.

x^2 - 2x + 1 = 1 + 1

(x - 1)^2 = 2

(x - 1)^2 - 2 = 0

The vertex is (1, -2)

A box company is designing a new rectangular gift container. The marketing department has designed a box with a width 2 inches s

Sladkaya [172]

Volume of the box= 56 cubic inches
let x is the length, then
width =2 inches shorter than its length = x - 2
height = 3 inches taller than its length = x+3
Volume = length x width x height
56 = x x (x-2) x (x+3)
56 = (x² -2x)(x+3)
56 = x³ +3x² -2x² - 6x
56 = x³ + x² -6x
x³+x²-6x-56 = 0
using the rational root theorem and factoring the polynomial;
(x-4)(x² +5x +14) = 0
from here;
x-4 = 0
x = 4
So, length = 4 inches
width = x - 2 = 4 -2 = 2 inches
length = x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 inches
volume = l x w x h = 4 x 2 x 7 = 56
