do you know how to put it into vertex form? that's how i'd start

k so to put it into vertex form:
y = x2 + 2x − 8
(x^2+2x)-8
take the middle term and divide it by 2, then square it, to get the last term.
(x^2+2x+1-1)-8
move the negative one out of the brackets:
(x^2+2x+1)-9
factor the newly formed perfect square trinomial!
y= (x+1)^2-9
-1 is the x term of the vertex
-9 is the y term of the vertex
the coefficient (a) is 1, which is positive, so the parabola opens upwards :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its A

therefore the vertex is a minimum and the answer would be B!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because a parabola that opens upwards looks like this, with a vertex that's a minimum|dw:1383338157357:dw|
