Question

How do I write: x^2-6x+10=3 in (ax+b)^2=c form?

Answer 1

get familiar with the fact that:\[(ax + b)^2 = a^2x^2 + 2axb + b^2\]

now find the corresponding values of a and b.
what's left over is c.

Answer 2

Okay. So in this case, from the equation, which values are what in the formula?

Answer 3

a = 1
b = -3

Answer 4

What? I didn't mean the answer, I meant from: \[x ^{2}-6x+10=3\]Which values from this make up the formula?
