Answer:

  (a)  3 must be factored from 3x^2 + 9x

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step when rewriting a quadratic from standard form to vertex form is to factor out the leading coefficient from the variable terms.

__

  y = 3x^2 +9x -18 . . . . . . given

  y = 3(x^2 +3x) -18 . . . . . leading coefficient factored out

  y = 3(x^2 +3x +2.25) -18 -3(2.25) . . . . . complete the square

  y = 3(x +1.5)^2 -24.75 . . . . . simplify to vertex form
