Convert equations of parabolas from general to vertex form

Full solution

Q. Put the quadratic into vertex form and state the coordinates of the vertex.

\newline

y=x^{2}+2 x+3

\newline

Vertex Form:

y=

\newline

Vertex:

(\square, \square)

Identify Vertex Form: Identify the vertex form of a parabola. $\newline$ Vertex form: $y = a(x - h)^2 + k$
Complete the Square: Complete the square for the quadratic equation $y = x^2 + 2x + 3$ . $\newline$ To complete the square, we need to find a value that makes $x^2 + 2x + \_\_\_$ a perfect square trinomial. $\newline$ The value needed is $(2/2)^2 = 1^2 = 1$ .
Rewrite Equation: Rewrite the equation by adding and subtracting the value found in Step $2$ inside the parentheses. $\newline$ $y = x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1 + 3$ $\newline$ $y = (x^2 + 2x + 1) + 2$ $\newline$ Now, the equation inside the parentheses is a perfect square trinomial.
Factor and Simplify: Factor the perfect square trinomial and simplify the equation. $\newline$ $y = (x + 1)^2 + 2$ $\newline$ This is the vertex form of the quadratic equation.
Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the parabola from the vertex form. $\newline$ The vertex form $y = a(x - h)^2 + k$ gives the vertex as the point $(h, k)$ . $\newline$ From $y = (x + 1)^2 + 2$ , we can see that $h = -1$ and $k = 2$ . $\newline$ Therefore, the vertex is $(-1, 2)$ .
