Question

Rewrite y =(x2 + 14x) + 29 in general form. (1 point)

Answer 1

how do you interpret "general form?"

Answer 2

taking it from standard to general form

Answer 3

what is that form, symbolically?

Answer 4

y=a(x-h)^2+k

Answer 5

Using http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/line-equation-general-form.html, general form is Ax + By + C = 0

Answer 6

oh ok

Answer 7

HTH

Answer 8

by completing to square?

Answer 9

the*

Answer 10

General forms are for straight lines, this is not a straight line if it is a quadratic

Answer 11

For quadratics, General form is Ax^2+Bx+C=0

Answer 12

For general form of quadratics - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

Answer 13

y=(x^2+14x+__)+29-__

Answer 14

x^2 + 14x + 29 - This is in General Form

Answer 15

brb

Answer 16

Does this make sense, General Form is not in any factoring form and separated by degrees with constant coefficients

Answer 17

this what my teacher said, General form is y=a(x-h)^2+k. We use the process of completing the square to take it from standard to general form.

Group the first two terms and add in blanks for where you will complete the square
y=(x^2+14x+__)+29-__

Whatever we add we must also subtract so that the equation stays balanced.

Answer 18

was this taken from an exam? it says "(1 point)"
and posting exam questions is not allowed. Read CoC.

Answer 19

m=no its a practice assignment that im resubmiting

Answer 20

Then you should complete the square and that technique will allow you to get to that form, whatever they want to call it.
