<span>The general equation of a quadratic is expressed as y = ax^2+bx+c. To
convert the general equation to vertex form, we need to obtain this form:
(y- k)= a(x - h)^2
This could be done by using completing the square method.
</span><span>y = –3x^2 – 12x – 2
</span><span>y + 2 = –3(x^2 + 4x)
</span>y + 2 -12 <span>= –3(x^2 + 4x + 4)
</span>y - 10 = -3(x+2)^2
Therefore, the answer is the first option.
Answer: Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition if we have a function F (x) and perform a transformation of the form

Then it is true that:
If c is negative the graph of G(x) will be equal to the graph of F(x) displaced horizontally c units to the right
If c is positive, the graph of G(x) will be equal to the graph of F(x) displaced horizontally c units to the left.
Note that in this case the transformation is:

Then
and 
Therefore the graph of G(x) will be equal to the graph of F(x) displaced horizontally <em>9 units to the left</em>
The answer is the option D.
Answer:
(a+c)+7
Step-by-step explanation:
this is called the Associative Property
(x+y)+z=x+(y+z)
