expand the 3(x+4)^2 first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 3x^2 +48x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3(x+4)(x+4)+1\]now expand it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure can you do the next step

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the standard form of the vertex equation is y = a(x - h)^2 + k where (h,k) is the coordinates of the vertex ans x = h is the axis of symmetry

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so compare you equation with this form h = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

not quite -h = +4 so h = -4 axis of symmetry is x = -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yw

OpenStudy (welshfella):

do you follow the logic ok?
