The image shows a geometric representation of the function f(x) = x2 – 2x – 6 written in standard form. An algebra tile configuration. Only the Product spot is shown. 9 tiles are in the Product spot: 1 + x squared, 2 negative x, 6 negative. What is this function written in vertex form? f(x) = (x –1)2 – 7 f(x) = (x +1)2 – 7 f(x) = (x –1)2 – 5 f(x) = (x +1)2 – 5

Titus works at a hotel. part of his job is to keep the complimentary pitcher of water at least half full and always with ice. when he starts his shift, the water level shows 4 gallons, or 128 cups of water. as the shift progresses, he records the level of the water every 10 minutes. after 2 hours, he uses a regression calculator to compute an equation for the decrease in water. his equation is w –0.414t + 129.549, where t is the number of minutes and w is the level of water. according to the equation, after about how many minutes would the water level be less than or equal to 64 cups?
