f (x) = (x+4) 2 - 13
Converting to Vertex Form
1. Start by placing brackets around the first two terms.
f (x) = x2 + 8x+3 f (x) = (x2 + 8x) + 3
2. In order to make the bracketed terms a perfect square trinomial, we must add a "c" term as in a x2 + bx+c. Since c, in a perfect square trinomial is denoted by the formula c = (b2) 2, take the value of b to find the value of c.
f (x) = (x2 + 8x + (82) 2) + 3
3. However, adding (82) 2 would change the value of the equation. Thus, subtract (82) 2 from the (82) 2 you just added.
f (x) = (x2 + 8x + (82) 2 - (82) 2) + 3
4. Multiply ( - (82) 2) by the a term as in a x2 + bx+c to bring it outside the brackets.
f (x) = (1 x2 + 8x + (82) 2) + 3 - ((82) 2 * 1)
5. Simplify.
f (x) = (x2 + 8x+16) + 3-16 f (x) = (x2 + 8x+16) - 13
6. Lastly, factor the perfect square trinomial.
f (x) = (x+4) 2 (squared) - 13
