Question

What is the standard form of the equation of a parabola is y = 5x^2 + 20x + 14. What is the vertex form of the equation

Answer 1

vertex form is
`y=a(x-h)^2+k`

comlpete the square

`y=5x^2+20x+14`

group x terms

`y=(5x^2+20x)+14`

factor quadratic coefient

`y=5(x^2+4x)+14`

take 1/2 of linear coefient and square it

4/2=2, 2^2=4

add positive and negative of it inside the parentheasees

`y=5(x^2+4x+4-4)+14`

factor perfect squarer trinomial

`y=5((x+2)^2-4)+14`

expand

`y=5(x+2)^2-20+14`

`y=5(x+2)^2-6` is vertex form
