Answer:
The vertex form is y = (x + 4)² - 13
The minimum value of the function is -13
Explanation:
∵ y = x² + 8x + 3
∵ 8x ÷ 2 = 4x ⇒ (x) × (4)
∴ We need ⇒ x² + 8x + 16 to be completed square
∴ y = (x² + 8x + 16) - 16 + 3 ⇒ we add 16 and subtract 16
∴ y = (x + 4)² - 13 ⇒ vertex form
∵ The vertex form is (x - a)² + b
Where a is the x-coordinate of the minimum point and b is y-coordinate of the minimum point (b is the minimum value of the function)
∴ The minimum value is -13
