Asked by Alex
How would I simplify this quadratic equation:
y=-15/20.25(x^2+3x+2.25)+0
This is my work already done the original equation I was given but I need help simplifying the equation I have found.
y=-15/20.25(x^2+3x+2.25)+0
This is my work already done the original equation I was given but I need help simplifying the equation I have found.

what do you mean simplify? You can distribute the fraction, and you get
-15/20.5 = 0.73
so you could write
-.73x^2 - 2.20x - 1.65
but that's only approximate. SO, again, what do you mean by "simplify"?
I will note that x^2+3x+2.25 = (x+1.5)^2 if that helps
You have the vertex form of a quadratic function. The vertex is at (-1.5,0)
-15/20.5 = 0.73

-.73x^2 - 2.20x - 1.65
