Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): In vertex form
The vertex form of an equation is:
To do this, we make use of completing the square method.
We have:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Take the coefficient of x (i.e. -6)
Divide by 2; -6/2 = -3
Square it: (-3)^2 = 9
Add and subtract the result to the equation
------------------------------------------------------------------
Factorize
Factor out x - 3
Express as squares
Hence, the vertex form of is:
Solving (b): State the coordinates of the vertex.
In ; the vertex is: (h,k)
The vertex of will be
