To represent an exponent using your keyboard, type the symbol ^

Example:
x^2 means

===================================================

Problem 4

y = x^2 is the parent quadratic function
y = 2x^2 vertically stretches the curve by a factor of 2
y = 2(x-5)^2 shifts the curve 5 units to the right
y = 2(x-5)^2+10 shifts the curve 10 unit up

Graph:

x^2 in red
2x^2 in green
2(x-5)^2 in blue
2(x-5)^2+10 in purple

Here's a graph of just the parent x^2 and the final result 2(x-5)^2+10

I recommend using either Desmos or GeoGebra as a graphing tool.
Both of which are free.

Take notice how the vertex (0,0) in the parent function has been shifted 5 units right and 10 units up to arrive at (5,10) on the final result.

===================================================

Problem 5

y = 2x^2+12x-4 is of the form y = ax^2+bx+c
where,
a = 2
b = 12
c = -4

Use the first two values to find the following
h = -b/(2a)
h = -12/(2*2)
h = -3
This is the x coordinate of the vertex (h,k)

Use that to find the y coordinate of the vertex.
y = 2x^2+12x-4
y = 2(-3)^2+12(-3)-4
y = -22
The k value is k = -22

The vertex is located at (h,k) = (-3,-22)

So,
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
y = 2(x-(-3))^2 + (-22)
y = 2(x+3)^2 - 22
represents the vertex form.

Graph:

As mentioned in the previous problem, use graphing software to confirm the answer.
