Part A:
The first step of completing the square is writing the expression
as 
which expands to 
.
We have the first two terms exactly the same with the function we start with:
and 
but we need to add/subtract from the last term, 49, to obtain 41.
So the second step is to subtract -8 from the expression
The function in completing the square form is
Part B:
The vertex is obtained by equating the expression in the bracket from part A to zero
It means the curve has a turning point at x = -7
This vertex is a minimum since the function will make a U-shape.
A quadratic function
can either make U-shape or ∩-shape depends on the value of the constant 
that goes with . When is (+), the curve is U-shape. When (-), the curve is ∩-shape
Part C:
The symmetry line of the curve will pass through the vertex, hence the symmetry line is
This function is shown in the diagram below
