Answer:
type 2 in the first box,
13/4 in the second box, and
-9/8 in the third one
Step-by-step explanation:Notice that you are asked to write the following quadratic expression in vertex form, so you need to find the "x" value of the vertex, and then the "y" value of the vertex:
Which in our case is: -13/4
and the value of the y for the vertex is obtained using the functional expression when x equals -13/4:
Then your expression for this quadratic should be:
Then type 2 in the first box, 13/4 in the second box, and -9/8 in the third one

<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations </u>
It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them
- When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
- When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
- Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different
The first expression is
Let's arrange into format:
We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is
Now for the second expression
Let's arrange into format
It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been
