Hi,
f(x)=2x^2+4x+5 y=intercept Pt(0,5)
the vertex form of a parabola, where(h,k) is the vertex
f(x)=2[(x^2 +2x} +5
f(x)=2[(x+ 1)^2 -1} +5
f(x)=2(x+ 1) -2 + 5
f(x)=2(x+ 1)+3
vertex Pt(-1,3), parabola opens upward (a=2 and is > than zero)

Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

The discriminant -24 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.


In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -24 is + or - .

The solution is
