Complete the square to re-write the quadratic function in vertex form: y=x^2-5x+9

step-by-step explanation:

the answer to this question depends on certain assumptions.   if the 6-pint jar starts out empty, and the 3-pint jar full, pouring the 3 pints into the 6-pint jar results in a half-full 6-pint jar.   if we refill the 3-pint jar and then pour its contents into the half-full 6-pint jar, then the 6-pint jar will be full.  

we are given scale of 2 units.

on graph paper the space is 2.5 cm.

length of glass = 8 units.

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units.

each 2 unit is = 2.5cm.

therefore,

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units = 2.5+2.5+2.5+2.5= 10cm.
