Rewrite the following equation in standard form. y = 2(x + 2)^2 - 5

Answer 1

The phrase "standard form" is unfortunately not so standard anymore. You should look in your textbook or refer to the notes you took in class to determine if the "standard form" is in the form:

1. y = ax² + bx + c

or

1. y = a(x - h)² + k

Unfortunately, there are some courses that teach each.

Answer 2

Simplifying the given equation and forming a standard equation gives y = 2x²+8x+3
