Question

Rewrite y = 3x2 - 24x + 10 in general form.

Answer 1

General Form

You have already seen how to graph a quadratic function when it is in its standard form. Recall that the standard form of a quadratic function looks like: y=a(x-h)^2+k

But how do you graph a quadratic function when it is in its general form? The general form of a quadratic function looks like this: y=ax^2+bx+c

Answer 3

So how does your author define general form?

Answer 4

h=x, k=y... the problem I'm having with this one is splitting the 3 in 3x^2...?

Answer 5

Its just asking to rewrite it not graph it... heres what I have so far:

Answer 6

So you want h-k form?

Answer 7

-10 on both sides
Y-10=3x^2-24x

24/2=12 12^2=144

Y-10=3x^2-24x+144

Answer 8

Its in standard form, I want general form(:

Answer 9

Let's write it like this:
