Complete the square to re-write the quadratic function in vertex form:
y = x^2+ 9x – 6

Aportion of a hiking trail slopes downward at about an 84° angle. to the nearest tenth of a flot, what is the value of x, the distance the hiker traveled along the path, if he has traveled a horizontal distance of 120 feet? a. 143.3 b. 12.5 c. 120.7 d. 130.2

The first few steps in solving the quadratic equation 9x2 + 49x = 22 ? 5x by completing the square are shown. 9x2 + 49x = 22 ? 5x 9x2 + 54x = 22 9(x2 + 6x) = 22 which is the best step to do next to solve the equation by completing the square? 9(x2 + 6x + 3) = 25 9(x2 + 6x + 3) = 49 9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 31 9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 103

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. if necessary, round to the nearest hundredth. x^2 - 20 = x a. 5, 4 b. -5, -4 c. -5, 4 d. 5, -4
