Which value of c completes the square in the expression x^{2}-16x+c?

Use completing the square to determine which of the following gives solutions to 3x^{2}-18x+2=17.

Solve x^{2}+14x+5=0 by completing the square. Identify all of the solutions.

The procedure for completing the square is mostly the same as the procedure to convert a quadratic function from standard form into vertex form. Which is the vertex form of the function f(x)=-5x^{2}+60x+7?

What is the vertex of the function f(x)=-5x^{2}+60x+7?

Nota Bene: A vertex of a function is a point on the coordinate plane. If your answer is not a complete and accurate specification of such a point using conventional notation, you will not get full credit.

The function h(t)=-9t^{2}+18t+20 models the height in meters, h(t), of a rocket t seconds after being launched from an 20-meter-high platform.

A) How many seconds does it take for the rocket to reach its maximum altitude?
B) What is the rocket's maximum altitude?
