PLEASE HELP!!! How do I convert this equation into standard form? :(

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

:O :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=2(x-11)^2+4\]

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

u wanna convert it to \(f(x)=ax^2+bx+c\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes QQ

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ok first expand (x-11)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would that be \[(x-11)(x-11)\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ikram002p Thank you for helping me T^T I've asked this same question many times, all of which no one would respond to. :(

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yeah continue :O

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i asked lot of questions with no response as will :'(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hate that :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, continuing after (x-11)(x-11) I got \[x^2-22x+121\]

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

good now multiply with 2 :)

OpenStudy (triciaal):

another approach vertex form a(x-h)^2 + k = 0 a = a = 2 h = -b/2a so -11 = -b/(2*2) gives b = -44 c = ah^2 + k = 2(11)^2 + 4 = f(x) = 2x^2 -44x + 246

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ikram002p like this? \[2(x^2-22x+121)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And so I'd basically get triciaal's answer, once I multiply it by two?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yeah ,u would but after multiply u should add 4 to get the right answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Add four? So \[f(x)=2x^2-44x+250\] is the answer?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

little mistake :) (2x^2-44x+242 )+4=(2x^2-44x+246 )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahhh XDD So \[2x^2-44x+246\] is the final answer? xD

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@triciaal Can you explain to me how you got that answer, though? I looked it over and I'm not really sure how you were able to figure it out >.< Like, I'm not sure how h = -b/2a and everything :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wonder if I could give you both medals... lol ^^

OpenStudy (triciaal):

that is the vertex form Can you do a new question on "how to convert (the answer above) to vertex form? then I will go through the steps to work backwards to prove the original vertex form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay ^^ xD
