What is the vertex form of y=-1/2x^2 -2x -3?

y = − 1 2 ⋅ ( x + 2 ) 2 − 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a quadratic from y = ax2 + bx + c form to vertex form, y = a(x - h)2+ k, you use the process of completing the square. Let's see an example. Convert y = 2x2 - 4x + 5 into vertex form, and state the vertex. Equation in y = ax2 + bx + c form.

Very glad I could help you!1

your answer is 23/2 - 13.5

step-by-step explanation:

7/2 evaluates to

multiply x and 4.5

multiply x and 1

the x just gets copied along.

the answer is x

x

4.5*x evaluates to 4.5x

multiply 3 and 4.5x

multiply 1 and x

the x just gets copied along.

x

4.5*x*3 evaluates to 13.5x

7/2-4.5*x*3 evaluates to

  + 8 =

the answer is

7/2-4.5*x*3+8 evaluates to
