Rewrite x2 − 2x − 3 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers, to determine the a and b values. a = 4 and b = 3 a = 3 and b = 2 a = 2 and b = 1 a = 1 and b = 4

Find the vertex of the function given below y=x^2-6x+1

Question: what is the value of x 4x-2= (-7) +5x. it would be greatly appreciated if someone could actually explain to me step by step

Abilliard ball is struck by a cue. it travels 1 0 0 cm 100cm before ricocheting off a rail and traveling another 1 2 0 cm 120cm into a corner pocket. the angle between the path as the ball approaches the rail and the path after it strikes the rail is 4 5 ∘ 45 ∘ . how far is the corner pocket from where the cue initially struck the ball? do not round during your calculations. round your final answer to the nearest centimeter.
