Question

algebra 2 question (screenshot attached)

Answer 1

This is a parbola. The "vertex" equation form.

Answer 2

that means nothing to me lol

Answer 3

Here is the form: F(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k
You should now be able to identify a, h and k

Answer 4

h and k is the coordinates of the vertex
The sign of a indicates whether the parabola opens up or opens down

Answer 5

The absolute value of a will determine the spread or width of the parabola.

Answer 6

You are looking for a positive 1/4 value of a, (x + 2)^2, and a value of -10 for k. Note that the (x + 2)^2 is that value as (x - (-2)) becomes a (x + 2). Do you understand?
