Complete the square and put this function in vertex form: f(x)=x^2+20x+96

f(x) = (x+10)^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

vertex form is y = a(x-h)^2+k

to complete the square, we want to add a number on both sides so x^2+20x+whatver the number is, is the square of something

to find that number take 20, divide by 2, and then square it to get 100.

so, you would get f(x)+100 = x^2+20x+100+96

subtract 96 on both sides: x^2+20x+100 = f(x) + 4

factor: f(x) = (x+10)^2 - 4

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
