Put the following functions into standard form by completing the square. Use proper notation throughout.

  f(x)=3x2+x-10   I dont know what goes next after these two steps:  3(x2+1/3x+(1/6)2-1/36)-10  3((x+1/6)2-1/36)-10                                                                         

Can someone explain to me how you would establish this identity: cos(a-B)•cos(a+B) = cos^2a - sin^2B

Please include each step so I can follow along
