writing this late and cant really remember what we did we did some work on completing the square which is never too hard, however i should try and do some more work on it try and remember how to put something into a completed square form as well as take it out x^2 + 6x + 6 (x + 3)^2 - 3 method is to half B, then subtract b^2, and add whatever is needed to make sure + c works this can be used to find the turning point of the graph, the section in brackets needs to have its sign flipped this is similar to using factorising to solve a quadratic the value outside the bracket stays as is in the example given the turning point would be (-3, -3)
