Algebra. Level 10. Quadratic Functions. Completing The Square. ANSWERS

This document provides practice problems and answers for completing the square to express quadratic functions in various standard forms. Section A asks to express quadratic functions in the form (x + a)2 + b. Section B asks to express them in the form a(x + b)2 + c. Section C asks to solve quadratic equations by completing the square, leaving solutions as surds where appropriate. An extension section then asks to analyze properties of the curve y = (x + 3)2 - 4, including finding its minimum point, where it crosses axes, line of symmetry, and sketching it.
