Convert the function into standard form. y - 2 = -3 (x + 4) ^2 Quadratic Functions

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

due to lack of clairvoyance we find ourselves in the precarious position to ask you for the "function"

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a second degree equation... what is STANDARD form for a 2nd degree equation?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

@dpaInc ax^2+bx+c

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

what he has up there is just the "vertex form" more or less

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jdoe0001 @dpaInc yeah, it is in vertex form, it's has to be converted into standard form and that's where I'm having the problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give stanard form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, this is the standard form formula : y= ax^2 + bx + c

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

feegee , well, just expand the binomial and solve for "y"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I just multiply the -2 into the equation to have y alone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then just expand the right side and keep the y by itself on one side... solve for y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, that turns out to be: y = -3x^2 - 24x - 46
