Graph each function in standard form. State the vertex and axis of symmetry.
\n" ); document.write( "1.) y = 2x^2 + 8x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "y+3+? = 2(x^2+4x + ?)
\n" ); document.write( "Complete the square to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2(x^2 + 4x + 4) = y + 3 + 2*4
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+2)^2 = y +11
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Vertex: (-2,-11)
\n" ); document.write( "Axis: x = -2
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C2x%5E2%2B8x-3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2.) y = -0.5x^2 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "-0.5x^2 = y-5
\n" ); document.write( "The square is already complete because x^2 = (x+0)^2
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Vertex: (0,5)
\n" ); document.write( "Axis: x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-0.5x%5E2%2B5%29\"
