What is the standard form of y=(x−3)2+3?
1 Answer
Explanation:
Multiply out the brackets and collect like terms.
(x−3)2=(x−3)(x−3)=x2−3x−3x+9
⇒y=x2−6x+9+3=x2−6x+12 Writing an answer in standard form means , start with the term that has the highest power of the variable , in this case
x2
Followed by terms with decreasing powers until the last term , usually a constant.
