Question

What is the vertex of the graph of the function f(x) = x2 + 8x − 2 ? (−4, 18) (0, -2) (-8, -2) (−4, −18)

Answer 1

The answer is D......

Explanation:

Answer 2

(−4, −18)

Explanation:

f(x) = x^2 + 8x - 2

⇒ CONVERT TO VERTEX FORM

≥ f(x) = (x + 4)^2 - 16 - 2

≥ f(x) = (x + 4)^2 - 18

⇒ VERTEX IS AT:

≅ ((−4, −18))
