X squared+y=18
x+y=6. use elimination method.(+y and +y cancels
x squared -x=x
18-6=12
x=12
for y take one of the above equations
x+y=6(replace x with 12
12+y=6(collect the like terms
y=6-12
y=-6
so x=12 and y=-6
4b+1 equivalent to -2(b+4)+3
(x+8)(x-1)
Check:
8-1=7
8*-1=-8
F(x) = 3x^2+6x-2
= 3(x^2+2x-2/3)
= 3(x^2 +2x + 1 - 1 - 2/3)
= 3((x+1)^2 - 1 - 2/3)
= 3((x+1)^2 -5/3))
= 3(x+1)^2 - 5
So our function is in the form:
f(x) = 3(x+1)^2 - 5
where a = 3, h = -1, k = -5
