A quadratic equation has the general form
of: <span>
y=ax² + bx + c
It can be converted to the vertex form in order
to determine the vertex of the parabola. It has the standard form of:
y = a(x+h)² - k
This can be done by completing a square. The steps are as follows:
</span><span>y = 3x2 + 9x – 18
</span>y = 3(x2 <span>+ 3x) – 18
</span>y + 27/4= 3(x2 <span>+ 3x+ 9/4) – 18
</span>y = 3(x2 + 3/2)^2 – 99<span>/4
</span>
Therefore, the first step is to group terms with the variable x and factoring out the coefficient of x^2.
Answer:

OR
x=\frac{3}{4} ±i\frac{\sqrt{39}}{4}\\
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
395/136
Step-by-step explanation:
(9 7/8)/(3 2/5) = (79/8)/(17/5) = (79/8)(5/17) = 395/136
Since 9 7/8 is larger than 3 2/5, it is an improper fraction.
Answer:
32 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
basically its 8 x 4
8x4=32
you get 8 because it says they are cut into eighths and the 4 because of four pies
