To solve the quadratic function \( y = x^2 + 2x - 9 \) by completing the square, start by isolating the constant term. Rewrite it as: \[ y = (x^2 + 2x) - 9. \] Now, to complete the square for the expression \( x^2 + 2x \), take half of the coefficient of \( x \) (which is \( 2 \)), square it (getting \( 1 \)), and add and subtract it inside the equation: \[ y = (x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1) - 9. \] This simplifies to: \[ y = (x+1)^2 - 10. \] Thus, the completed square form is: \[ y = (x+1)^2 - 10. \] This shows that the vertex of the parabola is at the point \( (-1, -10) \).
