Answer:
Option (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is, y = (x + 3)² + (x + 4)²
By solving this expression,
y = x² + 6x + 9 + x² + 8x + 16
y = 2x² + 14x + 25
y = (2x² + 14x) + 25
y = 2(x² + 7x) + 25
y = 2[x² + 2(3.5x) + (3.5)² - (3.5)²] + 25
y = 2[x² + 2(3.5x) + (3.5)²] - 2(3.5)² + 25
y = 2(x + 3.5)² - 24.5 + 25
y = 2(x + 3.5)² + 0.5
[tex]y=(x+\frac{7}{2})^2+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, Option (2) will be the vertex form.
