SOLUTION: Convert the quadratic function into its standard form, identify the vertex,the x and y intercepts and graph the function and all its components. label all components on the graph

Question 723678: Convert the quadratic function into its standard form, identify the vertex,the x and y intercepts and graph the function and all its components. label all components on the graph
y=3xsquared + 2x-8 (i.e y=3^x2 +2x-8)

Here is a way to start.

The expression, , represents a rectangle with one dimension x and the other dimension . It may be not a square, but you can ADD a term to it so that it becomes a square. The term to add is . You also must subtract it in order to maintain equality for y.

Continuing toward this,

Can you continue this?
