Write the quadratic in standard form

Write the quadratic function in standard form.

g(x) = x2 + 8x + 16


Alex E.

I tend to call the form it’s currently in standard form. Could you give a generic equation of what the question is calling standard form. Maybe its looking for what I call vertex form. I.e. f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k where (h,k) defines the vertex of the parabola and a is a scaling factor that “stretches” or “shrinks” the parabola. Anyway if you can write out how your problem/text defines standard form as I did here for what I call vertex form I’ll be able to help you out.
