Write the function into standard form

f(x)=2(x-3)^2-4

f(x) = 2x² - 12x + 14

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Expanding by FOILingCombining like termsStandard Form: f(x) = ax² + bx + cVertex Form: f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define function

Vertex Form:   f(x) = 2(x - 3)² - 4

Step 2: Convert to Standard Form

Expand by FOILing:                    f(x) = 2(x² - 6x + 9) - 4Distribute 2:                                 f(x) = 2x² - 12x + 18 - 4Combine like terms:                    f(x) = 2x² - 12x + 14

And we have our final answer!

Um what? rephrase that ?
