To convert the quadratic equation \( y = (x + 4)^2 - 5 \) from vertex form to standard form, we need to expand the equation.
-
Start with the vertex form: \[ y = (x + 4)^2 - 5 \]
-
Expand \( (x + 4)^2 \): \[ (x + 4)^2 = x^2 + 8x + 16 \]
-
Substitute this back into the equation: \[ y = x^2 + 8x + 16 - 5 \]
-
Combine the constant terms: \[ y = x^2 + 8x + 11 \]
Thus, the standard form of the quadratic is: \[ y = x^2 + 8x + 11 \]
