Need answer asap algebra 2 math

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x + 5                   Put brackets around the first 2 terms.

f(x) = (2x^2 - 4x) + 5                 Take out the common factor of 2

f(x) = 2(x^2 - 2x) + 5                 1/2 the second term and square.

f(x) = 2(x^2 -2x + (2/2)^2) + 5   Express brackets as a perfect square.

f(x) = 2(x - 1)^2 + 5                     Multiply 2 * 1 (the term without an x. Subtract.

f(x) = 2(x - 1)^2 + 5 - 2                Combine

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