To put a quadratic equation in standard form, it must follow the format:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc\"$
\n" ); document.write( "To put the given into standard form, we must distribute 3 with $\"%28x-2%29%28x-2%29\"$ . ( $\"%28x-2%29%28x-2%29\"$ = $\"%28x-2%29%5E2\"$ .) If you do it, you should come up with $\"-3x%5E2%2B12x-12\"$ . The only thing left to do is to add 5 to 12 in order to simplify it. In conclusion, the equation $\"f%28x%29=-3%28x-2%29%5E2%2B5\"$ in standard form is $\"y=3x%5E2%2B12x-17\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
