Complete the square to rewrite y=x> 2+8x+3 in vertex form , and then identify the minimun y-value of the function

The vertex form is y = (x + 4)² - 13

The minimum value of the function is -13

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ y = x² + 8x + 3

∵ 8x ÷ 2 = 4x ⇒ (x) × (4)

∴ We need ⇒ x² + 8x + 16 to be completed square

∴ y = (x² + 8x + 16) - 16 + 3 ⇒ we add 16 and subtract 16

∴ y = (x + 4)² - 13 ⇒ vertex form

∵ The vertex form is (x - a)² + b

Where a is the x-coordinate of the minimum point and b is y-coordinate of the minimum point (b is the minimum value of the function)

∴ The minimum value is -13
