Question

Write the following in standard form 2(x-5)^2-8 !!!

Answer 1

The standard form:

`ax^2+bx+c`

-----------------------------------------------------------------

`2(x-5)^2-8` use (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²

`=2(x^2-2(x)(5)+5^2)-8`

`=2(x^2-10x+25)-8` use distributiveproperty

`=(2)(x^2)+(2)(-10x)+(2)(25)-8\\\\=2x^2-20x+50-8\\\\=\boxed{2x^2-20x+42}`
