The first steps in writing f(x) = 3x2 – 24x + 10 in vertex form are shown.

f(x) = 3(x2 – 8x) + 10

(-8/2)^2 = 16

what is the function written in vertex form?
a. f(x) = 3(x + 4)2 – 6
b. f(x) = 3(x + 4)2 – 38
c. f(x) = 3(x – 4)2 – 6
d. f(x) = 3(x – 4)2 – 38

White shapes and black shapes are used in a game. some of the shapes are circles. while the rest are squares. the ratio of the number of white shapes to the number of black shapes is 5: 11. the ratio of the number of white cicrles to the number of white squares is 3: 7. the ratio of the number of black circles to the number of black squres is 3: 8. work out what fraction of all the shapes are circles.
