The first steps in writing f(x) = 4x^2 + 48x + 10 in vertex form are shown.


f(x) = 4(x2 + 12x) + 10


What is the function written in vertex form?

Verified Answer :

f(x) = 4x^2 + 48x + 10
f(x) = 4(x^2 + 12x) + 10
f(x) = 4(x^2 + 12x + 36) + 10
f(x) = 4(x + 6)^2 + 10

Answer:

The vertex from of the given function is \(f(x)=4(x+6)^2-134\).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

\(f(x)=4x^2+48x+10\)

\(f(x)=4(x^2+12x)+10\)

If a expression is given as x²+bx, then add \((\frac{b}{2})^2\) in the expression to make it perfect square.

Here b=12, so add and subtract \((\frac{12}{2})^2\) in the parentheses.

\(f(x)=4(x^2+12x+6^2-6^2)+10\)

\(f(x)=4(x^2+12x+6^2)+4(-6^2)+10\)

\(f(x)=4(x+6)^2-4(36)+10\)

\(f(x)=4(x+6)^2-144+10\)

\(f(x)=4(x+6)^2-134\)

Therefore the vertex from of the given function is \(f(x)=4(x+6)^2-134\).
