First find the x coordinate of the vertex

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it should be x = -b/(2a) NOT x = b/(2a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+4 = x^2+12x y+4+36 = x^2+12x+36 y+40 = (x+6)^2 y = (x+6)^2 - 40 y = (x-(-6))^2 + (-40) . Now, we see that: (h,k) = (-6,-40)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, it's NOT x = b/(2a) it should be x = -b/(2a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so x = -b/(2a) x = -12/(2(-1)) x = ???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

robert2 is incorrect because his first step is missing a negative sign on the x^2 term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IS CORRECT MY TEACHER ME EXPLAIN

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y = -1x^2 + 12x - 4 y = -1(6)^2 + 12(6) - 4 y = 32

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so it should be y = -1(x - 6)^2 + 32
