Question

Write x2 + 6x = 2 in vertex form. (Be sure to write your response in the form a(x-h)^2+k=0 with no spaces!)

Answer 1

`{x}^(2) + 6x = 2`

`{x}^(2) + 6x - 2 = 0`


`({x}^(2) + 6x + ( { (6)/(2) })^(2) - ({ (6)/(2) })^(2) ) - 2 = 0`

`({x}^(2) + 6x + ( {3 })^(2) - ( {9} ) )- 2 = 0`

`({x}^(2) + 6x + {3}^(2) ) - 9 - 2 = 0`

`{(x + 3)}^(2) - 11 = 0`
a = 0
h = -3
k = -11
