Question
All quadratics can be expressed in the form a(x – h)² + k.
For example, x? – 4x – 5 = (x – 2)² – 9
How to do it:
a(x – h)² + k = a[(x – h)(x – h)] + k = a[x² – hx – hx + h²] + k
= ax? – 2ahx + ah² + k
So, we want to express x? – 4x – 5 in form a(x – h)² + k
x² – 4x – 5 = a(x – h)² + k
x2 – 4x – 5 = ax² – 2ahx + ah² + k
Now equate the coefficients:
1 = a
-4 = -2ah - 4 = -2(1)h
Therefore, h = 2
-5 = h2 + k
- 5 = 4 + k
Therefore, k = -9
So
x² – 4x – 5 = (x – 2)² – 9
