general form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rewrite y = x^2 + 14x + 29 in general form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe subtract y from both sides so the equation is set = 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was thinking it was already in general form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If general form is the same as standard form, then usually you would have the variables on one side, and the constant term on the other. Since I am not really sure what "general form" is, I cannot give an exact answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I would venture to say the general form here is x^2 + 14x - y = -29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is confusing lol. thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah you are right. I really never see parabolas written in any other way except the way you had it. So now that I think about it, I agree with what you wrote the first time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean, if the parabola was written in another way, there would be a name for it. Like "vertex form" or "standard form". But "general form"? Probably exactly what you have.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about this one though y = 3x^2 - 24x + 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say that it is already in general form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm trick questions i guess..weird.
