Question

Consider the quadratic equation:
y=−2x 2 −32x+2 . Write the equation in the form y=a(x−h) 2 +k by completing the square.

Answer 1

well take out -2 as a common factor

\[y = -2(x^2 + 16x ) + 2\]

complete the square on the quadratic

\[y = -2(x^2 +16x + (\frac{16}{2})^2) + 2 - (\frac{16}{2})^2\]

hope this helps.
