If Lylah completes the square for f(x) = x 2 + 24x -18 in order to find the minimum, she must write f(x) in the general form f(x) = (x − a)^2+ b. What is the value of b for f(x)?
Explain (tell me word for word how you arrived at the answer above, include screenshots if necessary) how you found the solutions in detail.

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x)=  (x − a)2 + b

Rewrite the equation as (X-a)2 + b= f(X) (X-a)2 + b= f(X)  subtract (x-a)^2 from both sides of the equation b=f(x)- (x-a)^2

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.

da freeck kinda math is this just drop out
