Complete the square to rewrite the equation in vertex form and state the vertex:
y=x2 -8x + 11
y=(x-4)2-5
Vertex: (4, -5)
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)
Solve by completing the square:
y = x2+22x+129
x = -11 + 2i sqrt2
x = -11 - 2i sqrt2
