Did I do this right? Rewrite f(x)=-3(x+2)^2+4 in standard form. f(x)=-3(x+2)(x+2)+4 f(x)=-3(x^2+2x+2x+4)+4 f(x)=-3(x^2+4x+4)+4 f(x)=(3x^2-12x+-12)+4 f(x)=-3^2-12x+-12+4 f(x)=-3x^2+12x-8 Answer is f(x)=-3^2+12x-8 did I do this right or can you tell me where i went wrong?

Nnesha (nnesha):

check 4th and last line there are sign mistakes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the end answer is right except for the sign errors? @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

Nnesha (nnesha):

-3 times x^2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I redid my work and got \[f(x)=-3x^2-12x-16\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

looks good

Nnesha (nnesha):

oh hwait no

Nnesha (nnesha):

how did you get -16? like i said before there are just sign mistakes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at the end i had -12+4 ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right so -12+4 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[f(x)=-3x^2-12x-8\] is right?

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1443299023462:dw| yes right you forgot the negative at the end so it's -12
