Explanation:
#"the equation of a parabola in "color(blue)"vertex form"# is.
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=a(x-h)^2+k)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
#"where "(h,k)" are the coordinates of the vertex and a"#
#"is a multiplier"#
#"to obtain this form "color(blue)"complete the square"#
#f(x)=x^2+4x color(red)(+4)color(red)(-4)+6#
#color(white)(f(x))=(x+2)^2+2larrcolor(blue)"in vertex form"#
