The first step is to Factor out 3 from the first two terms.
Wriring equastion in vertex form
Given the function expressed as:
f(x) = 3x^2 + 6x – 8
In order to write an equation in vertex form, the coefficient of x^2 must be 1.
Hence the first step in writing f(x) = 3x2 + 6x – 8 in vertex form will be to factor out the coefficient of x^2 which is 3
