Question

Rewrite the quadratic function f(2) = 5x2 + 10x – 8 in standard form, f(x) = a (x – h)? + k, and give the vertex.

Answer 1

Answer: $f(x) = 5(x+1)^{2} - 13$

Vertex = (-1, -13)

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = 5x^{2} + 10x - 8\\f(x) = 5(x^{2}+2x)-8\\f(x) = 5(x^{2}+2x+1-1)-8\\f(x) = 5((x+1)^{2}-1)-8\\f(x) = 5(x+1)^{2}-5-8\\f(x) = 5(x+1)^{2}-13$

Vertex = (h, k) = (-1, -13)
