The three consecutive integers are -16, -14, -12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive even integers be;

x, x+2, x+4

According to given statement;

$x+(x+4)=x+2+(-14)\\x+x+4=x+2-14\\2x+4=x-12\\\\2x-x=-12-4\\x=-16$

The values are as follow;

$-16,\ -16+2,\ -16+4\\-16, -14, -12$

The three consecutive integers are -16, -14, -12.

How to convert to vertex form

kaheart [24]

The vertex form of a quadratic is given by. y = a(x – h)2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex. The "a" in the vertex form is the same "a" as. in y = ax2 + bx + c (that is, both a's have exactly the same value). The sign on "a" tells you whether the quadratic opens up or opens down.
