Question

The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is `y = 6(x - 2)^2 ­- 8`. What is the standard form of the equation?

Answer 1

`y = x^2 - 24x + 16`.

Explanation:

To transform the vertex form to the standard form of a quadratic function y, we develop the equation:
`y = 6(x - 2)^2 - 8 = 6(x^2 - 4x + 4) - 8`
Standard form of y:
`y = 6x^2 - 24x + 16.`
