?

jdoe0001 · Answer

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

zzr0ck3r · Answer

lol

anonymous · Answer

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

jdoe0001 · Answer

@dpaInc   ax^2+bx+c

jdoe0001 · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

@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.

anonymous · Answer

can you give stanard form?

anonymous · Answer

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

jdoe0001 · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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