Question

\(y=x^2+6x-1\) in vertex form and do you get it

Answer 1

do you know what is a "perfect square trinomial"? or often called just a perfect square

Answer 2

If you have a quadratic equation of the form \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\), you can convert it to vertex form by performing the following steps:

1. Note the value of a
2. Find the vertex (h,k)
3. Insert the values of \(a\) and \((h,k)\) in to the vertex formula \(y = a(x - h)^2 + k\).
