Answer:

  • a = 1/2
  • h = -1
  • k = -3

Explanation:

We assume you want to compare your expression to the form ...

a(x -h)² +k

1/2(x +1)² +k

The multiplier outside parentheses is ...

a = 1/2

The horizontal offset inside parentheses is ...

-h = 1

h = -1

The vertical offset outside parentheses is ...

k = -3
