Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -3x² + 24x - 50
factor out leading coefficient
y = -3(x² - 8x) - 50
complete the square
coefficient of the x term: -8
divide it in half: -4
square it: (-4)² = 4²
use 4² to complete the square and keep the equation balanced:
y = -3(x² - 8x + 4²) + 3(4²) - 50
y = -3(x-4)² - 2
Answer:
(eduacted guess) 7 minutes, 30 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
May not be correct but what I did was find the average of 6 and 9. You add the 6 and the 9 (15), then divide it by 2.
