Answer

$y=-2\left(x-2\right)^2+11$

Work Step by Step

Recall: (1) The vertex form of $y=ax^2+bx+c$ is $y=a(x-h)^2+k$ where $(h, k)$ is the vertex. (2) The vertex of the graph of $y=ax^2+bx+c$ is at $\left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)$. The given function has $a=-2$ and $b=8$. Thus, the $x$-coordinate of the vertex is: \begin{align*} x&=-\frac{b}{2a}\\\\ x&=-\frac{8}{2(-2)}\\\\ x&=-\frac{8}{-4}\\\\ x&=2 \end{align*} Find the $y$-coordinate of the vertex by substituting $2$ to $x$ to obtain: \begin{align*} y&=-2x^2+8x+3\\\\ y&=-2\left(2\right)^2+8\left(2\right)+3\\\\ y&=-2\left(4\right)+16+3\\\\ y&=-8+16+3\\\\ y&=11 \end{align*} The vertex is at $\left(2, 11\right)$ so $h=2$ and $k=11$. Substitute the values of $a, h,$ and $k$ into the vertex form and then recall part (1) above to obtain: $$y=-2\left(x-2\right)^2+11$$
