Q. The equation of a parabola is y=x2+2x+6. Write the equation in vertex form.Write any numbers as integers or simplified proper or improper fractions.______
Identify Vertex Form: Identify the vertex form of a parabola, which is y=a(x−h)2+k.
Start with Given Equation: Start with the given equation y=x2+2x+6.
Complete the Square:Complete the square by adding and subtracting (22)2, which is 1, to the equation.y=x2+2x+1−1+6
Rewrite Equation: Rewrite the equation grouping the perfect square trinomial and combining the constants. y=(x2+2x+1)−1+6
Factor and Simplify: Factor the perfect square trinomial and simplify the constants.y=(x+1)2+5
