Answer:
Graph D
Explanation:
Move the constant to the opposite side of the equation and group terms that include the same variable.
g(x) + 1 = x^2 + 2x
Finish the square. Remember to keep the equation balanced by using the same constants on both sides.
g(x) + 1 + 1 = x^2 + 2x + 1
g(x) + 2 = x^2 + 2x + 1
Rewrite as perfect squares
g(x) + 2 = (x + 1)^2
Equation in vertex form:
g(x) = (x + 1)^2 - 2
The vertex:
(-1, -2)
