How do I put in the vertex form this equation? Y=x^2 -6X+8

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Vertex form is y = a(x + h)^2 + k

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

You will first need to complete the square

OpenStudy (<3pandas18):

ok i dont want you to give me the answer so could you walk me through?

OpenStudy (<3pandas18):

how do i do the square

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Okay, to complete the square, first find the values of (b/2)^2, where y = ax^2 + bx + c. So in this case, b = -6

OpenStudy (<3pandas18):

so like this? −b/2a=−6/ 2×1=3

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

No, not quite. Do this: \(\large (\frac{-6}{2})^2\)
