There exist constants \(a,h\) and \(k\) such that

\(3x^2 + 12x + 4 = a(x - h)^2 + k\)

 

for all real numbers  Enter the ordered triple \((a,h,k)\)

 

Note: I got (3,-2, -12) but it didnt work....

3 (x^2+4x)  + 4            "complete the square for x "

3 (x+2)^2  - 12 + 4

3(x+2)^2 - 8

im confused... i just got 3x^2 + 12x + 4... is the ordered triple (3,12,4)?

a (x-h)^2 + k

3 (x+2)^2 -8

 

a = 3    h = -2       k = -8
