Which values for h and k are used to write the function f(x) = x2 + 12x + 6 in vertex form?
h=6, k=36
h=-6, k=-36
h=6, k=30
hs-6, k=-30

Someone please help me with this I can’t fail this test !

i gotchu bro you ain’t getting this wrong

ITS D!!! h = -6 k = -30

The equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

f(x)= a(xh)² + k

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

we have

f)x) = x² + 12x + 6

Convert to vertex form

Complete the square

f)x) 6= x² + 12x

f)x) - 6+36= (x² + 12x +36)

f)x)+ 30 = (x² + 12x +36) -

f)x)+30= (x+6)²

f)x) = (x+6)² – 30. -----> equation in vertex form

therefore

The vertex is the point (-6,-30)

h=-6, k=-30
