Question about converting equations....
I was hoping to have some help on converting these equations.

1. Convert the function into standard form.

Y=2(x-4)(x+3)

2. Convert the function into standard form.

Y-2=-3(x+4)^2

For this one I got, y=3x^2+8x+18 <-- I don't know if this is correct though.

3. Convert the function into INTERCEPT form.

y= -x^2+5x+36

Answer 1

What is definition of "standard form"?

Answer 2

@douglaswinslowcooper I believe these functions are currently in quadratic form

Answer 3

"standard form" seems to be A x^2 + B x + C = 0

Answer 4

Ah. so would this be right than?

-2x^2+2x+y+24=0 for the first one?

Answer 5

I think it would be y = etc =0

Answer 6

I believe "y=" only appears in front of intercept form equations. But maybe not. Thanks for trying to help.

Answer 7

You are welcome. Your book must have a definition of "standard form."
