To convert a quadratic<span> from y = ax</span>2<span> + bx + c form to </span>vertex<span> form, y = a(x - h)</span>2+ k, you use the process of completing the square. Let's see an example. Convert y = 2x2<span>- 4x + 5 into </span>vertex<span> form, and state the </span>vertex<span>.</span>
In this question, let's add those polynomials
(5x-6) + (2x-6)
5x -6 +2x -6 <em>Combine like terms</em>
<em>5x +2x -6-6</em>
7x -12
Since this is not an equation, no further step can be done.
If she cut off nine pieces of 2-inch ribbon, in all, that would be 18. After that, it would simply be the matter of subtracting 24 and 18.
