Write y=x^2-4x-1 in vertex form

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dvinal [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  y= (x+2)² − 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I got this answer is by completing the square. The first step though, when looking at this equation, is to see if we can factor it. The way to check is to look at the coefficient for x² which is 1, and the constant, in this case -1. If we multiply those together, we get  −. Now we look at the middle term, 4x. We need to find any numbers that multiply to equal  −  1x² and add to  4x. There aren't any, which means it is not factorable.

Hope I helped

Find the value of k if (x-3) is a factor of P(x)=2x3-5x2+3x+k
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

k = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

If x-3 is a factor, what this means is that if we substitute;

x = 3 into the equation, we should get 0

This is from the factor theorem

Thus ;

P(3) = 0 = 2(3)^3 -5(3)^2 + 3(3) + k

0 = 54 - 45 + 9 + k

k + 18 = 0

k = -18
