Answer:
g(x) = 2(x +2)² +2
vertex: (-2, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is often easier to write the vertex form if the leading coefficient is factored from the variable terms:
g(x) = 2(x² +4x) +10
Then the square of half the x-coefficient is added inside parentheses, and an equivalent amount is subtracted outside.
g(x) = 2(x² +4x +4) +10 -2(4)
g(x) = 2(x +2)² +2
Comparing to the vertex form, we see the parameters are ...
a = 2, h = -2, k = 2
The vertex is (h, k) = (-2, 2).
