What is true about the function h(x) = x2 + 20x – 17? Check all that apply.

The vertex of h is (–10, –117).
The vertex form of the function is h(x) = (x + 20)2 – 17.
The maximum value of the function is –17.
To graph the function h, shift the graph of f(x) = x2 left 10 units and down 117 units.
The axis of symmetry of function h is x = 20.

The only statements that are true about the function h(x) = x^2 + 20x – 17 are:

1. The vertex form of the function is h(x) = (x + 10)^2 – 117.
2. To graph the function h, shift the graph of f(x) = x^2 left 10 units and down 117 units.
