Complete the square to put the equation into vertex form, $\"y=a%28x-h%29%5E2%2Bk\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2%2B8x%2B5=2%28x%5E2%2B4x%29%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2%2B8x%2B5=2%28x%5E2%2B4x%2B2%29%2B5-8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2%2B8x%2B5=2%28x%2B2%29%5E2-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Vertex is (-2,-3)
\n" ); document.write( "The axis of symmetry is x=-2.
