In order to get on the track and field team, Anastacia must be able to find out what is the maximum height she needs to be able to jump. The team provides her with the expression-8x²+80x191 as one of the examples of height requirements she must complete during the try out. The team explains to her that she must write an equivalent expression to easily show the maximum height required. Her equivalent expression is -8(. )^2. +(. )
Fill in the missing pieces of Anastacia's expression
Anastacia's equivalent expression is: -8(x+5)^2 + 216
The missing pieces are:
- The missing term to complete the square is (x+5)
- The coefficient before the completed square is -8
- The constant term at the end is 216
The constants term can only be -9 9 or 1/9
Got it, in that case, if the constant term must be -9, 9, or 1/9, then the equivalent expression would be:
-8(x+5)^2 - 9
