i need the first four steps tho...

anonymous · Answer

i like to help people, not to do people's homework for them

anonymous · Answer

well ok but can you tell me if i am doing it wrong..... ummm and i am not supposed to graph it

anonymous · Answer

The form you want from completing the square is y= a(x-k)^2+h. (h,k) is the vertex and a is a factor that stretches the function.
