Answer 1

Answer:  Choice A

y = -3(x+2)^2 + 10

=================================================

Work Shown:

y = -3x^2-12x-2 is in the form y = ax^2+bx+c with

a = -3

b = -12

c = -2

The x coordinate of the vertex is

h = -b/(2a)

h = -(-12)/(2*(-3))

h = 12/(-6)

h = -2

We'll plug this into the original equation to find the corresponding y coordinate of the vertex.

y = -3x^2-12x-2

y = -3(-2)^2-12(-2)-2

y = 10

So k = 10 is the y coordinate of the vertex.

Overall, the vertex is (h,k) = (-2,10)

Meaning that we go from this general vertex form

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

to this

y = -3(x - (-2))^2 + 10

y = -3(x+2)^2 + 10
