$y = 2x^2 + 16x + 11$

Standard quadratic form is $y = ax^2 + bx + c$ .

$y = 2(x+4)^2 - 21$

First, simplify the expression in the parenthesis with exponent:
$y = 2(x+4)(x+4)-21$

$y = 2(x^2 + 8x + 16) - 21$

$y = 2x^2 + 16x + 32 - 21$

$y = 2x^2 + 16x + 11$

As you can see, this is now in the form $y = ax^2 + bx + c$ .

Hope this helps!
