To convert the equation from vertex form \( y = -4(x + 5)^2 - 3 \) to standard form, we will expand it.
-
Start with the vertex form:
\[ y = -4(x + 5)^2 - 3 \]
-
Expand \( (x + 5)^2 \):
\[ (x + 5)^2 = x^2 + 10x + 25 \]
-
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:
\[ y = -4x^2 - 40x - 103 \]
So, the standard form of the equation is:
\[ \boxed{y = -4x^2 - 40x - 103} \]
Therefore, the correct response is:
y = −4x^2 − 40x − 103.
