Write the quadratic function in the form gxaxh2k Then give t
Write the quadratic function in the form g(x)=a(x-h)^2+k
Then, give the vertex of its graph
g(x)=3x^2+12x-8
Writing in the form specified: g(x)=
Vertex: ( , )
Solution
g(x)=3x^2+12x-8
g(x) = 3(x^2 +4x) -8
= 3(x^2 +4x +4) -12 -8
= 3(x+2)^2 -20 ( Vertex form of equation )
Vertex ( -2 , -20)
