Question

The function f(x) = 3x² + 12x +11 can be written in

Answer 1

Answer:

3)  f(x) = 3(x + 2)^2 - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x² + 12x +11

f(x) = 3(x^2 + 4x) + 11        Completing the square:

f(x) =  3[(x + 2)^2 - 4] + 11

f(x) = 3(x + 2)^2 -+3*-4 + 11

f(x) = 3(x + 2)^2  - 12 + 11

f(x) = 3(x + 2)^2 - 1.
