Find the vertex of the parabola.
y = 2x² + 8x + 12
a. (2,-4)
b. (-2, 4)
C
d.
(-4, 2)
(4, -2)

Correct answer is B. (-2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: y = 2x^2 + 8x + 12

if x = 2,

Use substitution: y = 2(-2)^2 + 8(-2) + 12

                                y = 8 - 16 + 12

                                   y = -8 + 12

                                       y = 4

So, (-2, 4) would be your answer.

I hope this helps!!!

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
