Solve:

x2- 5x=0

x=0 or x = 5 

200

if the function is Y =-2(x-3)2 where is the paraloba shifted 

2 units to the left.

200

What value completes the square for 

x2-10x?

25

200
solve 

x+7x+12=0.

X=-3 or x = -4

If a parabola is moved 2 units right, 3 units up, and reflected, what is the equation?

Y = (X- 2)2+3 

300

True or False: You only complete the square when the coefficient of 

xis 1.


True 

300

2x2- 8x=0.

x = 0 or x =4

A rocket’s height is given by 

h=−5t220t+50. How long until it reaches its maximum height?


2 seconds (found by completing the square or using 

t=−2ab ).

400

the height of a triangle is 3 more than its base, and its area is 18, what is the base?

Base = 3, Height = 6 (solved by factoring the area equation).
