Find the values of a and b such that x² - 2x + 2 = ( x - a )² + b

a = b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2x + 2 = ( x - a )² + b

x² - 2x + 2 = ( x² - 2x + 1) - 1 + 2 = (x - 1)² + 1

a = b = 1  

$450 is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

30% of 450 = 135

450-135=315

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
