Complete the square to rewrite y = x2 - 6x + 3 in vertex form. then state
whether the vertex is a maximum or a minimum and give its coordinates.

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Given

y = x² - 6x + 3

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 6x

y = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 + 3

  = (x - 3)² - 6 ← in vertex form

• If a > 0 then vertex is a minimum

• If a < 0 then vertex is a maximum

Here a = 1 > 0, thus

(3, - 6 ) is a minimum

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
