$c = 10$

Consider the vertex form of a parabola.

$a {(x + d)}^{2} + e$

Find the value of $d$ using the formula $d = \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

Substitute the values of $a$ and $b$ into the formula $d = \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

$d = \frac{8}{2 \cdot 2}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $8$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $8$ .

$d = \frac{2 \cdot 4}{2 \cdot 2}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot 2$ .

$d = \frac{2 \cdot 4}{2 (2)}$
