Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Solving (a): In vertex form
The vertex form of an equation is:

To do this, we make use of completing the square method.
We have:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Take the coefficient of x (i.e. -6)
Divide by 2; -6/2 = -3
Square it: (-3)^2 = 9
Add and subtract the result to the equation
------------------------------------------------------------------



Factorize 


Factor out x - 3

Express as squares

Hence, the vertex form of
is: 
Solving (b): State the coordinates of the vertex.
In
; the vertex is: (h,k)
The vertex of
will be 
Point/Slope Form of an equation!
(5,3)
slope of -2/5
x= 5
y = 3
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
y - 3 = -2/5(x-5)
y - 3 = -2/5x + 2
y = -2/5x + 5
x intercept of 5
The answer is -1152
Hope it helps!!
We can use a system of equations in order to solve for both of the numbers. Let's start off by assigning variables to each number. The bigger number can be 'x', and the smaller number can be 'y'.
We can make two equations from the given:
x = 18 + y
("One number is 18 more than another number")
x + y = 36
("The sum of the numbers is 36")
If you look at the first equation, the variable 'x' already has a value (18 + y). We can input its value into the second equation in order to solve for y:
x + y = 36
(18 + y) + y = 36
18 + 2y = 36
2y = 18
y = 9
Input the value of 'y' into the first equation:
x = 18 + y
x = 18 + 9
x = 27
<u>One number is 27 and the other number number is 9.</u>

It's a trick question. 1/2 is more than 2/8/
