Y = x^2 + 2x - 1 = x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1 - 1 = (x + 1)^2 - 2
The vertex of a parabola given by y = a(x - h)^2 + k is (h, k).
Therefore, the vertex of y = (x + 1)^2 - 2 is (-1, -2)
So the question is asking to covert the said formula by making the a as the solution or the ask of the said equation, well in that matter, I would say, base on my own conversion and further computation about the said equation, the value of a is (y+z)/(x+w). I hope this would help
Mhmmmmmm like 13 because 10+3 is 13 and #brain
