Complete the square to rewrite the equation in vertex form and state the vertex:

y=x-8x + 11

y=(x-4)2-5

Vertex: (4, -5)

400

Which method would be best to solve? (Quadratic Formula, Factoring, or Completing the Square?)

3x2+7x-1

Quadratic Formula! (discriminant is 61, so not a positive perfect square, and b is NOT divisible by a and 2)

400

Solve by completing the square:

y = x2+22x+129

x = -11 + 2i sqrt2
