Sketch the curve y=4-(x+3)^2, showing the points where the curve crosses the x-axis and any minimum or maximum points.

This equation rearranges to give -y=(x+3)^2-4, which is very similar to our curve y=(x+3)^2-4 from before. In fact, replacing y with -y in an equation is equivalent to reflecting the curve through the x-axis...

Find the coordinates of the minimum point of the curve y=x^2+6x+5.

To answer this question is equivalent to minimising y=(x+3)^2-4. We have that all square numbers are greater than or equal to 0 so to minimise this equation, we require that (x+3)^2=0. This is satisfied only...

Factorise x^2+6x+5=0 by completing the square.

When completing the square, we first divide the whole equation by the x^2 component. In this case, the x^2 component is 1 so nothing changes. We now apply the method to convert to square form: we reduce the ...
