Question

Rewrite the function in an equivalent form the would reveal the vertex of the function f(x)=x^2+8x+6

Answer 1

f(x)=(x+4)-10

Explanation:

Since the function f(x)=x^2+8x+6 is in standard form, you need to find the axis of symmetry using the formula -b/2a, and then plug the value back into the original equation to find the vertex.

The vertex is (-4, -10)

Using this information, we can rewrite the equation in vertex form (f(x=a(x-h)+k), where (h, k) is the vertex.

The equation we rewrite is f(x)=(x+4)-10
