y=(x+3)2+1

Explanation:

y=x2+6x+10

y=ax2+bx+c This is the standard form

The vertex form is expressed as

y=a(xh)2k

F=(h,k)

F=(h,k)represents the focus coordinates

Solution -1:

y=x2+6x+9+1

y=(x+3)2+1

h=3

k=1

Solution-2:

h=b2a=621=3

k=(3)2+6(3)+10=918+10=1

a=1

The vertex form:

y=1(x+3)2+1

y=(x+3)2+1
