You can  put this solution on YOUR website! f(x)=x^2+2x-4 Give the vertex, axis, domain, and range. 
*** 
f(x)=x^2+2x-4 
complete the square: 
f(x)=(x^2+2x+1)-1-4 
f(x)=(x+1)^2-5 
This is an equation of a parabola that opens upward. 
Its standard (vertex) form of equation: y=(x-h)^2+k, (h,k)=coordinates of the vertex 
For given parabola: 
vertex: (-1,-5) 
axis of symmetry: x=-1 
Domain: (-∞,∞) or all real numbers 
Range: (-5,∞)
