Answer:

y = (x-3)^2 -16

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 -6x-7

We need to complete the square

b= -6

b/2 = -6/2 = -3

(b/2) ^2 = (-3)^2 =9

Add 9 then subtract 9 to balance the equation

y = x^2 -6x +9 -9 -7

y = (x^2 -6x+9) -16

The terms in parentheses is (x-b/2)^2

y = (x-3)^2 -16

This is in vertex form

The vertex is (3,-16)

Three brothers, Justin, Jared, and Jonathan decided to buy a present for their mom's birthday. Justin gave decided to spend 1/4

I believe that, if there are three brothers and each invested the same exact money to make a total of $33.00, each brother would have invested $11.

Jonathan's was different, as he invested 2/5. 11 divided by 2 is 5.5, in which 5.5*11 would equal 27.50.
The rest was simply their denominator times $11.
Jared had $33 dollars before the investment, and Justin has $44.
