Question

I've been told this problem is already in general form - If it is, what should I do with it?
"Rewrite y = x2 + 14x + 29 in general form."

Answer 1

leave it as it is

Answer 2

Maybe they are telling you, that complete the square.

Answer 3

yea its not in general form u have to move the y and complete the square twice

Answer 4

If is that,

y=x²+14x+29

To complete the square woul be sum both sides(14/2)²

y+49=x²+14x+29+49

Factorizing

y+49-29=(x+7)²

y+20=(x+7)²

Maybe is that.

Answer 5

I think the general form is the quadratic, ax2+bc+c=0
