4a + 3 = 11...subtract 3 from both sides
4a + 3 - 3 = 11 - 3...simplify
4a = 8 ....divide both sides by 4
(4/4)a = 8/4...simplify
1a, or just a = 2 <==
Neato
assuming you mean

remember
in form

a is leading coficient
(h,k) is vertex
k will be the minimum or max value of the function
if a is positive, then the parabola opens up and k is minimum
if a is negative, then the parabola opens down and k is max
given
a is negative
the parabola opens down and k is the max value
it is -3
the max value is -3, which occors at x=2
g(2)=-3 is max
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We group the number 5:
5(x² + 3x + 2.25)
Now inside the brackets we'll take the square root of the coefficient of the x and the square root of the last number, then remove the square from the x and write it as a sum:
5(x+1.5)²
What's the idea behind this?
Well, remember that when you have something in the form:
(a+b)²
It actually means:
a² + 2ab + b²
In our case a was x, and b was 2.25. For bringing it into the shorter form we have to take the square root of a and b.
Sorry if you don't understand. Tell me if you need help to get the xoncept better.
