Complete the square for x2+16x+14
Use the form ax2+bx+c, to find the values of a,b, and c.
Consider the vertex form of a parabola.
a(x+d)2+e
Substitute the values of a and b into the formula d=b2a
d=162(1)
Cancel the common factor of 16 and 2.
d=8
Find the value of e using the formula e=cb24a
e=50
Substitute the values of a,d and e into the vertex form a(x+d)2+e
(x+8)250
Set y equal to the new right side.
y=(x+8)250
