ANSWER

Josie did not make a mistake

Step-by-step explanation

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is given in the form:


y=(x-h)^2\text{ + k}

where (h, k) is the vertex

Jose rewrote the given equation to arrive at:


y\text{ = (x - }2)^2\text{ - 8 }

And her vertex was (2, -8)

Comparing this with the general form written above, we see that every step taken and the final answer are correct.

Therefore, Josie did not make a mistake.
