let 


x = the number of party favors in each of the 27 boxes

y = the number of party favors in the last box


the total number of party favors is 1,552


27x + y = 1,552


since 1552 = 57*27 + 13


if we assume that y<x we conclude that there are 57 party favors in each of the 27 boxes and 13 party favors in the last box.

y = 2x squared + 5x -3 can be written in the form y= 2( x+a) squared + b . Find the value of a and the value of b.
Elan Coil [88]

General vertex form:

y = m(x − a)² + b  \: with  \: vertex \:  at \:  (a, b)

Given :

y = 2x² + 5x  - 3

Extract "spread factor" m

y = 2( x² +  \frac{5}{2} x) - 3

Complete the square

y = 2(x²  +  \frac{5}{2}x + ( \frac{5}{4})²) - 3

- 2( \frac{5}{4})²

Write as a squared binomial and simplify the constant

y = 2(x +  \frac{5}{4})² - 6 \frac{1}{8}

Re-write to match signs of standard general form:

y = 2(x - ( -  \frac{5}{4}))² \:  + ( - 6 \frac{1}{8})
