Question 905108: Please help solve. I was able to put g(x) = 5x^2 − 30x + 55 into standard form like so g(x) = 5(x − 3)^2 + 10 I understand that the vertex is (3,10) however what does the g mean in this? I know it's a variable but I have a problem asking me if it's greater than or less than zero. I don't know how to find this. Also asking for it's max and min value which I think is the vertex and if it's upward then it's only a min because it's showing it's lowest point and the rest exceeds infinitely. Does that all sound correct?

Question 905508: Find domain of the function. Please explain:
√(x+3) / (x - 6)
My attempt:
√(x+3) > 0 then x=-3. the √ is canceled out?
then
x-6>0 then x= 6
So then domain: [-3,6]
Is this right?
Thank you
