Question 372772: I'm having problems with converting quadratics into vertex form, as well as solving equations by completing their squares. I was absent and my teacher won't help me, so anything would be great.
problems like the following
Solve by completing the square:
4x^2+40x+280=0
then Convert this quadratic to vertex form
y=3x^2-12x+1
