To convert the quadratic from vertex form \( y = (x + 5)^2 + 1 \) to standard form, we will expand it.
- Start with the vertex form:
\[ y = (x + 5)^2 + 1 \]
- Expand \( (x + 5)^2 \):
\[ (x + 5)^2 = x^2 + 10x + 25 \]
- Substitute this back into the equation:
\[ y = x^2 + 10x + 25 + 1 \]
- Combine the constant terms:
\[ y = x^2 + 10x + 26 \]
Thus, the converted standard form is:
\[ y = x^2 + 10x + 26 \]
So, the correct response is:
y = x² + 10x + 26
