i need the terms and definitions to answer this-
aApolynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.
There are 3 sets of polynomials; LINEAR, QUADRATIC and CUBIC
Linear:
Quadratic:
Cubic:
The first step to getting this in vertex form would be to put this in proper standard form. This is so that you can split the middle term which is a step of completing the square.
