Question

Please help!! i also need to show work.


write in vertex form y = -3x^2 - 18x + 12

Answer 1

3(-x^2-6x+4)

Explanation:

-3x^2 - 18x + 12

-3x^2 - (2 x 3^2) x + 2^2 x 3

3 (-3x^2 over 3 - 2x3^2 times x over 3 + 262 x 3 over 3)

3(-(x^2) - (2 x 3^2-1 times x) +2^2

3(-x^2 - (2 times 3x) +4)

3(-x^2-(6x) + 4)

3(-x^2 - 6x + 4)
