To convert the equation from vertex form to standard form, let's start with the given equation:
\[ y = -4(x + 5)^2 - 3. \]
- First, expand the squared term:
\[ (x + 5)^2 = x^2 + 10x + 25. \]
- Now substitute this back into the equation:
\[ y = -4(x^2 + 10x + 25) - 3. \]
- Distribute the -4:
\[ y = -4x^2 - 40x - 100 - 3. \]
- Combine like terms:
\[ y = -4x^2 - 40x - 103. \]
Now, looking at the responses provided, the correct conversion from vertex form to standard form results in:
\[ y = -4x^2 - 40x - 103. \]
Thus, the correct answer is:
y = −4x² − 40x − 103.
