<span>y = 3x² + 18x
factor out the leading coefficient
y = 3(x²+6x)
Complete the square
coefficient of the x term: 6
divide it in half: 3
square it: 3²
use 3² to complete the square:
y = 3(x²+6x + 3²) - 3·3²
= 3(x+3)² - 3·3²
= 3(x+3)² - 27
vertex (-3, -27)</span>
The top one. they can't be expressed in a fraction or decimal
the answer is, c) distributive
Find x and y intercept and plot
set x to zero and find y
set y to zero and find x
tada, 2 points
if x=0, then y=-4
if y=0, then x=-16
we havee the points
(0,-4) and (-16,0)
or
y=-1/4x-4
