4x^2 + 40 x
= 4 (x^2 + 10x)
= 4 (x+ 5)^2 - 25)
= 4(x + 5)^2 - 100

Answer:


g(x) =4(x+5)^2-100

Explanation:


g(x) = 40x + 4x^2

To get vertex form of equation y =a(x-h)^2+k

we use completing the square method

In completing the square method we take coefficient of x ,divide by 2 and then we square it

To apply completing the square method, we make x^2 alone


g(x) =4x^2+40x


g(x) =4(x^2+10x)

Coefficient of x is 10 , 10 divide by 2= 5

5^2= 25

Add and subtract 25


g(x) =4(x^2+10x+25-25)


g(x) =4(x^2+10x+25)-100

Now factor x^2 +10x+25, it becomes
(x+5)(x+5)


g(x) =4(x+5)(x+5)-100


g(x) =4(x+5)^2-100 is our vertex form
