We can factor a -2 and an x^2 out of this using GCF.
<h3><u>-2x^2(x - 3) is what we're left with, and is the fully factored form.</u></h3>
To find the final term to compete the square you need to divide the 'x' term by 2 then square it

- equivalent equation
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we have the expression

Convert to vertex form

where
a is the leading coefficient
(h,k) is the vertex
Complete the square


Rewrite as perfect squares

so
The coefficient a =1
The vertex is the point (-2,-2)
Answer:
X= 67
Y= 121
Z= 80
Step-by-step explanation:
To find Y:
(y-9) and 112 are congruent so
y-9=112
y=121
To find Z: (consecutive)
180=121+z+3
180=124+z (combine like terms)
subtract 124 to cancel and move to other side of equation
z= 80
To find X: (consecutive)
180=112+x+1
180=113+x (combine like terms)
subtract 113 to cancel out and move to their side of equation
x = 67
