What is the first step when rewriting y=6x^2+18x+14 in the form y=a(x-h)^2+k?
1 answer:
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Factor 6 from the first two terms.
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>By factoring out "a", you can better see what "h" needs to be.
- y = 6(x^2 +3x) +14 . . . . 6 factored from first 2 terms
- add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses; add the opposite outside: y = 6(x^2 +3x +2.25) +14 -6(2.25)
- rewrite as a square; combine the constants: y = 6(x+1.5)^2 +0.5
