y=2(x-10)^2+1 How do I convert to standard form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2(x-10)^2+1\] \[2(x^2-20x+100)+1\] \[2x^2-40x+201\]

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Oh.. just expand lol. I'm dumb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so first you need to square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then distribute the 2.

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

No no I understand I was just saying I am clearly dumb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, lmao. okay, well to square put what is in parentheses twice and then multiply the numbers in front, multiply the inside numbers, and multiply the outside numbers. does that make sense?

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Makes sense:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, and then do you know how to distribute?

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):
