Asked by Jonathan
Write y=x^2+4x-1 in vertex form.
y=x^2+4x-1
y=(x^2+4x+8)-1-8
y=(x+2)^2-9
This isnt one of my answer choices,what am I doing wrong?
in second line:
y=(x^2+4x<b> +4 </b> )-1 <b> +4 </b>
(take one half of the middle coefficient, then square it)
y=(x^2+4x + 4 )-1 - 4
y=x^2+4x-1
y=(x^2+4x+8)-1-8
y=(x+2)^2-9
