help me pleaseee!!!

Question

complete the square to write this function in vertex form: x^2-12x+23=0

Answer 1

You do not present a function.

Completion of the square is used to determine solutions.

Decide which you want.

x² - 12x + 23 = 0

x² - 12x = - 23

x² - 12x + (-6)² = -23 + (-6)²

(x - 6)² = 13

Answer 2

You have f(x) = x² - 12x +23 = 0 and you need the equation in f(x) = a(x - h)² + k form.

There are two parts you need first half (a(x - h)²) and the second half (+k) of the vertex form.

Set your equation as;

f(x) = (x² - 12x + (-12/2)²) - (-12/2)² +23 = (x² - 12x +36) - 36 + 23 = (x - 6)² -13

vertex form;

f(x) = (x - 6)² -13
