Answer:
A. y = 7(x + 1)²-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Parabola:
[tex]y = 7x^{2} + 14x + 4[/tex]
[tex]y = 7(x^{2} + 2x) + 4[/tex]
Putting into vertex form, remember that:
[tex](x + a)^{2} = x^{2} + 2ax + a^{2}[/tex]
In this question:
[tex]x^{2} + 2x[/tex], to put into this format:
[tex]x^{2} + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)^{2}[/tex]
We add one inside the parenthesis to do this. The parenthesis is multiplied by 7, so for the equivalent, we also have to subtract 7. Then
Vertex form:
[tex]y = 7(x^{2} + 2x + 1) + 4 - 7[/tex]
[tex]y = 7(x + 1)^{2} - 3[/tex]
So the correct answer is:
A. y = 7(x + 1)²-3
