Expert Solution
Step 1

The leading coefficient is = 2

It is a positive number

Answer(a): Positive

Step 2

b) Since the leading coefficient is positive so it opens upwards. 

c)

Compare these two equations

Algebra homework question answer, step 2, image 1

So, a=2 , h=-1 , k= 3

So, vertex= (h,k)= (-1,3)

Answer(c): (-1,3)
