Rewrite the quadratic equation y=x^2-8x+19 in STANDARD form

Question

 How would I convert this function into standard form?

Answer 1

Student,

The equation you provided is ALREADY in standard form:

f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

a = 1

b = -8

c = 19

Perhaps you meant to ask for something else?

Answer 2

Standard form of a quadratic equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Replace y with ... Now, arrange your equation into the standard form using rules of algebra...

y = x^2 - 8x + 19... oh, it's already in standard form almost, just let y=0.
