Given: <span>y = x^2 + 6x - 5. Then a = 1, b = 6 and c = -5.
The x-coord. of the vertex is given by x = -b / (2a), which here is x = -6 / (2*1) = -3.
Use the given formula </span><span>y = x^2 + 6x - 5 to find the value of y when x = -3:
y = (-3)^2 + 6(-3) - 5 = 9 - 18 - 5 = -14
Then the vertex is (-3, -14).</span>
2a+1 + 3a+2 +5a-9 you would start by combining like terms
2a+3a+5a= 10a
1+2-9= -6
10a-6=94
then subtract 94-6=88
then divide 88 by 10= 8.8
a=8.8
The answer is 112.5
type 150 divide by 100 times 25
minus that from 150
and it gives you the answer
