Answer:
B
Explanation:
f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x + 5 Put brackets around the first 2 terms.
f(x) = (2x^2 - 4x) + 5 Take out the common factor of 2
f(x) = 2(x^2 - 2x) + 5 1/2 the second term and square.
f(x) = 2(x^2 -2x + (2/2)^2) + 5 Express brackets as a perfect square.
f(x) = 2(x - 1)^2 + 5 Multiply 2 * 1 (the term without an x. Subtract.
f(x) = 2(x - 1)^2 + 5 - 2 Combine
f(x) = 2(x - 1)^2 + 3
