for the first part. I'm sure you can expand it and rearrange terms to get the standard form. If not, show what you come up with.
A parabola has intercepts of x = -2, x = 3, and y = -4
how do I write this into these forms:
the intercept form (y = a (x – m)(x – n))
and
in standard (y = ax2 + bx + c) form

Well for the intercept form, I wrote -4 = a ( -2 – m) ( 3 – n) but I don't know which x to use for the standard form for a or b. or am i supposed to put the values of x's like this in standard form
(y = ax^2 + bx + c)
y = a -2^2 + b3 + c
(y = ax^2 + bx + c)
y = a -2^2 + b3 + c
