Vertex Form

Convert quadratics (with rational solutions) from standard form into vertex form

Convert each quadratic from standard form into vertex form.

\(y = - 6 x^{2} - 24 x - 24\)

Use the method of completing the square to transform any quadratic equation in x into an equation of the form (x - p)2 = q that has the same solutions. Derive the quadratic formula from this form.
