Answer:
Factor 6 from the first two terms.
Step-by-step explanation:
By factoring out "a", you can better see what "h" needs to be.
- y = 6(x^2 +3x) +14 . . . . 6 factored from first 2 terms
- add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses; add the opposite outside: y = 6(x^2 +3x +2.25) +14 -6(2.25)
- rewrite as a square; combine the constants: y = 6(x+1.5)^2 +0.5
