Complete the square to rewrite y = x2 - 6x + 15 in vertex form. then state
whether the vertex is a maximum or minimum and give its coordinates.

a. maximum at (-3,6)
b. maximum at (3,6)
c. minimum at (3,6)
d. minimum at (-3,6)

Since is the square of x and 6x is twice the product between x and 3, the second square must be 3 squared, i.e. 9.

So, if we think of 15 as 9+6, we have

Which is the required vertex form. This form tells us imediately that the vertex is the point (3,6).

Since the leading coefficient is 1, the parabola is facing upwards (it's U shaped), so the vertex is a minimum.

complete the steps to find the area of the trapezoid.

area of rectangle = 256   square units

area of triangle 1 = 24  square units

area of triangle 2 = 16  square units

area of triangle 3 =   96 square units

area of trapezoid = 120  square units

step-by-step explanation:

costs the what? what is the cost of the pants?

step-by-step explanation:

if it is $10, then the price is 14.

take 40% of the cost, and then add the cost.

40% of 10 = 4

4+10 = 14.
