Answer:
a = 4.5
b = -6.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation to us is ,
[tex]\implies y = x {}^{2} - 9x + 14[/tex]
And its given that it can we written in the form of ,
[tex]\implies (x + a) {}^{2} + b[/tex]
Where ,
Therefore ,
[tex]\implies y = x^2 -9x + 14 [/tex]
Multiplying 9x by 2/2 ,we have ,
[tex]\implies y = x^2 -\dfrac{2}{2}\times 9 x + 14 [/tex]
Adding and subtracting (9/2)² ,
[tex]\implies y = \bigg\{ x^2 -\dfrac{2}{2}\times 9 x + \bigg(\dfrac{9}{2}\bigg)^2 \bigg\} +14 -\bigg(\dfrac{9}{2}\bigg)^2[/tex]
Therefore , we can write it as ,
[tex]\implies y = \bigg( x + \dfrac{9}{2}\bigg)^2 + 14 - 20.25 \\\\\implies \underline{\underline{ y = \bigg( x + \dfrac{9}{2}\bigg)^2 - 6.25 }}[/tex]
Hence the value of a is 9/2 and b is -6.25 .
