Question 1103103: Joel was given this function.
f( x )=2x2−12x+12
He used the method of completing the square to rewrite the function. In this second step of his process, r and s are real numbers.
f( x )=2( x2−6x+r )+12+s
What are the values of r and s?
Thank you!!!

r is the value to use for completing the square, which is %286%2F2%29%5E2=3%5E2=9; and you should be able to find what is s.
