Answer 3

like this???

Answer 4

Write the quadratic function in the form
f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k

Answer 5

use completing the square formula/steps

Answer 6

i don't know how to do that

Answer 7

well first of all try to factor out something that goes evenly in the 3 terms

Answer 8

oh i actually do!!! Thats pre cal stuff, complete the square!

Answer 9

give it a try before we give you answer, have you guys done any examples in class?

Answer 10

@liz_mustang can you help me? @juniro no i in online classes

Answer 11

ok first factor out -2 from the equation

Answer 12

this is how product should look after factoring

Answer 13

then you can complete square

Answer 14

let me check if that correct

Answer 15

thats not the answer yet, you need to complete the square after you factor out -2

Answer 16

this is example of how to complete the square

Answer 17

the posted question is not clear.

Answer 18

you would use (b/2)^2 b=the number next to the x variable

Answer 19

Write the quadratic function in the form. <<<f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k
f(x)=-2x^2-8x-12

Answer 20

does the eponent 2 are added to -8x

Answer 21

no

Answer 22

use the distribution properties

Answer 23

so where does the exponent goes ?

Answer 24

standard a = -2 b = -8 and c = -12
h = -b/2a and k = c + h^2

Answer 25

what did you get when you factor out -2?
and after use (b/2)^2?

Answer 26

what x? @triciaal

Answer 27

correct

Answer 28

@sunnycali what do you mean "what x ? "
