    Converting vertex form to standard form for a quadratic

    Hi! Thanks for the tips. I am pretty comfortable in binomial multiplication. However, I am going to do a little bit more practise. I think because I was tired, I was making a few silly mistakes. :smile:

    Converting vertex form to standard form for a quadratic

    Oh! I am so sorry! It is late here and I am a bit tired. I tend to make these silly mistakes when I am tired. Anyways, hopefully this is the correct answer: y=-2x^2+4x+1 Thanks, Mastiff_Lover

    Converting vertex form to standard form for a quadratic

    Ok! I just thought you could do it both ways, but I guess not! So, here it is the way you said. Is this correct? y=-2(x-1)(x-1)+3 y=-2(x^2-x-x+1) y=-2(x^2-2x+1) y=2x^2-4x+2+3 y=2x^2-4x+5 Thanks, Mastiff_Lover

    Converting vertex form to standard form for a quadratic

    Hi! Ok! I think I've got the answer. Here it is below: y=-2(x-1)^2+3 y=(2x+1)(x-1)+3 y=-2x^2+2x+x-1+3 y=-2x^2+3x+2 Do you think this would be the answer? Thanks, Mastiff_Lover

    Converting vertex form to standard form for a quadratic

    Hi! Thanks for the reply! However, how do I expand it to get it for y=ax^2+bx+c?

    Converting vertex form to standard form for a quadratic

    Hi! I have this Math 11 problem. I do my math through Distance Ed. and there are no examples like this one in the supplied lessons. If anyone could help me with this question, that would be great! Homework Statement Find the equation of the quadratic function with a vertex at (1,3) passing...
