A)Write x^2 – 8x + 25 in the form (x – a)^ 2 + b. (B) Write down the coordinates of the turning point of the graph of y = x2 – 8x + 25. (C)Hence describe the single transformation which maps the graph of y = x2 onto the graph of y = x2 – 8x + 25.

This is a question about completing the square of a quadratic equation. This is used to find the minimum point on a parabolic graph. A) Step 1 - set up the '(x – a)2' term by dividing the coeff...

Solve: 2((x)^2) + 7x + 3, for x

First factorise the quadratic: (2x + 1)(x + 3). Next set the factorised equation to 0: (2x + 1)(x + 3) = 0. Then solve the equation to find the 2 values of x, dividing through one br...
