Question Find the value of $y$ in the equation $y = 2x^2 + 12x + 5$ by completing the square and solving for $y$.

Studdy Solution
Now the equation is in the form of a perfect square plus a constant, and we have completed the square.
The simplified equation for $y$ is:
$$y = 2(x + 3)^2 - 67$$
This is the equation with a perfect square trinomial and the value for $y$ after simplifying.
