Answer:
2(x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor out the 2.
Quadratic f(x) = (x -h)² +k has vertex (h, k) and axis of symmetry x=h. When k is negative, the number of real solutions is 2, because both branches of the function cross the x-axis.
In your equation, h = -3 and k = -8.
Axis of symmetry: x = -3
Vertex: (-3, -8)
Number of real solutions: 2
The term in that equation is 3x 7x and -9 hope this helps
