The required steps are explained below to convert the quadratic function into a perfect square.
<h3>What is the parabola?</h3>
It's the locus of a moving point that keeps the same distance between a stationary point and a specified line. The focus is a non-movable point, while the directrix is a non-movable line.
Let the quadratic function be y = ax² + bx + c.
The first step is to take common the coefficient of x². We have

Add and subtract the half of the square the coefficient of x,

Then we have

These are the required step to get the perfect square of the quadratic function.

- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept
- Slope Formula:

So firstly, to find the slope of this equation, plug the two points, (1,1) and (-3,2), into the slope formula and solve as such:

Next, plug either one of the points into the x and y coordinates to solve for b as such:

<u>Our final equation is
, or the third option.</u>
Answer: No
Step-by-step explanation:
According to triangle inequality theorem which state that: the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.
Now let's test the given parameters if they obey this theorem
4 inches, 5 inches and 1 inch
4 + 5 = 9
9 > 1 correct
5 + 1 = 6
6 > 4 correct
4 + 1 = 5
5 not > 5 wrong
Therefore he won't be able to create the triangular component with these toothpicks without modifying any of the lengths
Question is confusing but 12/15 divides to 4/5 or rounds to 1
