Answer:
d(1) = -3 and d(2)= -28
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the distance d, in centimeters, that a diving board bends below its resting position when you stand at its end is dependent on your distance x, in meters, from the stabilized point
For finding out the distances for x=1 and x=2
let us substitute 1 and 2 for x
d(1) = -3 and d(2)= -28

Answer:
"complete the square" to put in vertex form
Step-by-step explanation:
It may be helpful to consider the square of a binomial:
(x +a)² = x² +2ax +a²
The expression x² +x +1 is in the standard form of the expression on the right above. Comparing the coefficients of x, we see ...
2a = 1
a = 1/2
That means we can write ...
(x +1/2)² = x² +x +1/4
But we need x² +x +1, so we need to add 3/4 to the binomial square in order to make the expressions equal:
_____
Another way to consider this is ...
x² +bx +c
= x² +2(b/2)x +(b/2)² +c -(b/2)² . . . . . . rewrite bx, add and subtract (b/2)²*
= (x +b/2)² +(c -(b/2)²)
for b=1, c=1, this becomes ...
x² +x +1 = (x +1/2)² +(1 -(1/2)²)
= (x +1/2)² +3/4
_____
* This process, "rewrite bx, add and subtract (b/2)²," is called "completing the square"—especially when written as (x-h)² +k, a parabola with vertex (h, k).
