Question 362381: Given f(x) = -2x^2 + 12x - 5 I must complete the square and put in the form y = a(x - h)^2 + k
-2x^2 + 12x = 5
x^2 - 6x = -5/2
x^2 - 6x + 9 = 13/2
(x - 3)^2 = 13/2
x - 3 = sqrt(13/2)
x = 3 +/- sqrt(13/2)
From here, how I would put this into the standard form? I have h = -b/2a = 3 and k = (c-b)^2/4a = -289/8 (?)
Not sure how I would enter x, wouldn't there be two of them?
Thanks for any help you can provide :-)

Question 362853: Good evening, I'm having trouble determining how to find the x-intercepts of the following function:
y = 2(x-3)^2 - 23
I found the y-intercept by setting x to zero:
y = 2(0-3)^2 - 23
y = 18-23
y = -5
However, I know I'm not finding the x-intercepts correctly, as I'm only coming up with one x-intercept using the quadratic equation:
x = [12 +/- sqrt(144 - 4(2)(18))] / 2(2)
x = (12 +/- 0)/4
x = 3
Could you let me know how I should be finding the x-intercept? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us students :)
