To convert the equation \( y = 5(x + 2)^2 - 6 \) from vertex form to standard form, we need to expand the equation.
-
Start with the equation: \[ y = 5(x + 2)^2 - 6 \]
-
Expand \( (x + 2)^2 \): \[ (x + 2)^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4 \]
-
Substitute this back into the equation: \[ y = 5(x^2 + 4x + 4) - 6 \]
-
Distribute the \( 5 \): \[ y = 5x^2 + 20x + 20 - 6 \]
-
Combine like terms: \[ y = 5x^2 + 20x + 14 \]
Now the equation in standard form is: \[ y = 5x^2 + 20x + 14 \]
