Considering the definition of vertex, the vertex form of y = –3x² – 12x – 2 is y=a(x+2)²+10 , where (-2,10) is the vertex of the parabola.

Vertex form

The function f(x) = ax²  + bx + c

with a, b, c real numbers and a ≠ 0, is a function  quadratic expressed in its polynomial form (It is so called because the function is expressed by a polynomial).

The quadratic function can be expressed by the vertex form of a quadratic equation: y=a(x−h)²+k , where (h,k)= vertex of the parabola.

The formula to find the value x of the vertex of a quadratic equation is [tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

To calculate the value of y of the vertex, it is necessary to find the numerical value of "x vertex" in the polynomial expression. This is:

(h,k)=  ([tex]\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex], [tex]f(\frac{-b}{2a})[/tex])

Vertex form of y = –3x² – 12x – 2

In this case:

  • a= -3
  • b= -12
  • c= -2

Replacing in the formula to find the value x of the vertex of a quadratic equation, you get:

[tex]x=\frac{-(-12)}{2(-3)}[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]x=\frac{12}{-6}[/tex]

x= -2

The value of y of the vertex can be calculated as:

y = –3×(-2)² – 12×(-2) – 2

Solving:

y= –3×4 – 12×(-2) – 2

y= –12 +24 – 2

y=10

Finally, the vertex form of y = –3x² – 12x – 2 is y=a(x+2)²+10 , where (-2,10) is the vertex of the parabola.
