Answer:

D. difference of squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of the terms x^2 and 9 are squares, so their difference is the difference of squares. The factorization of that is a "special form" that can be usefully memorized.

a^2 -b^2 = (a -b)(a +b)

x^2 -9 = (x -3)(x +3)

How do we calculate the vertex of a quadratic in standard form?

kvasek [131]

Answer:

y = a $x^{2}$ + b x + c .

Step-by-step explanation:

Also (How to do it!):

We can find the vertex of a quadratic equation with these steps:

Get the equation in the form y = ax2 + bx + c.

Calculate -b / 2a. This is the x-coordinate of the vertex.

To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, simply plug the value of -b / 2a into the equation for x and solve for y.
