Question

Rewrite the quadratic function below in Standard Form.
y = (x - 4) (x + 3)

Answer 1

the standard form of a quadratic formula is

y = ax^2 + bx + c

in this case you will solve using foil method

(× - 4)(x + 3)

(x × x) +( x × 3 )(- 4 × x) ( -4)× 3))

x^2 + 3x - 4x -12

x^2 - x - 12

therefore

y = x^2- x - 12
