i need to find the vertex, symmentry axis does graph go up or down and graph
y=2x^2 +8x + 16
a = 2 ; b = 8 ; c = 16
-----------------
Up or Down?
Since a > ) the parabola opens up.
--------------------------------------
Vertex?
Occurs when x = -b/2a = -8/(2*2) = -2
f(-2) = 2(4)- 16 +16 = 8
Vertex:(-2,8)
---------------------
Axis of symmetry?
x = -b/2a = -2
========================
Graph?
