Which of the following graphs is described by the function given below?
y = 2x^2 + 8x + 3

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the given quadratic function is,

y = 2x² + 8x + 3

y = 2(x² + 4x) + 3

  = 2(x² + 4x + 4 - 4) + 3

  = 2(x + 2)² - 8 + 3

  = 2(x + 2)² - 5

By comparing this equation with the equation of a quadratic function in vertex form,

y = a(x - h)² + k

Here (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola

Vertex of the given equation will be (-2, -5) and coefficient 'a' is positive (a > 0)

Therefore, vertex will lie in the 3rd quadrant and the parabola will open upwards.

Option (A). Graph A will be the answer.

in the math equation 8 x 7 = 56, the 8 and the 7 are both factors of 56, since in this lesson we will use square tiles to figure out the factors of a whole find as many different arrays as you can, but follow one important rule: all the rows must have the i can make two rows of nine, so 2 and 9 are both factors of 18.
