Answer:

<h3> $\boxed{\bold{y=(x+3)^2-14}}$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

y= x²+6x-5

completing the square: a²+2ab+b² = (a+b)² where a²=x² (so a=x) and 2ab=6x (so b would be 3):

$y=x^2+6x-5\\\\y=\underline{x^2+2\cdot x\cdot3+3^2}-3^2-5\\\\y=(x+3)^2-9-5\\\\\underline{y=(x+3)^2-14}\\\\\\vertex:\ \ (-3,\,-14)$

$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\ -----\\ V=108\pi \\ h=4 \end{cases}\implies 108\pi =\cfrac{\pi r^2(4)}{3}\implies 324\pi =4\pi r^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{324\pi }{4\pi }=r^2\implies 81=r^2\implies \sqrt{81}=r\implies 9=r$
