Question

Which equation is y=(x+3)2+(x+4)2 rewritten in vertex form

Answer 1

Vertex coordinates: (h, k)

Vertex form: y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = 2(x+3) + 2(x+4)

Use distributive property:

y = 2((x+3)+(x+4))

Simplify:

y = 2(2x+7)

y = 4x+14

This is slope - intercept form, not vertex form. Vertex form is for quadratic equations - this is a linear equation.

Answer (in slope - intercept form):

y = 4x+14
