13. Write y = 2x^2 -12x+16 in vertex form.

Please show work if possible so I know how to do it

First off, we factor out the expression:

In the bracket, separate 8 out of the expression.

In x^2-6x, find the third term that can make up or convert it to a perfect square form. The third term is 9 because:

So we add +9 in x^2-6x.

Convert the expression in the small bracket to perfect square.

Since we add +9 in the small bracket, we have to subtract 8 with 9 as well.

Then we distribute 2 in.

Remember that negative multiply positive = negative.

Hence the vertex form is y = 2(x-3)^2-2 or first choice.

no solution

step-by-step explanation:

there is not enough information in the problem to solve.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
