Question

Write the quadratic equation in general form. (x-5)2

Answer 1

x^2 - 10x + 25

Explanation:

I'm hoping that the 2 means squared.

x^2 - 10x + 25

Answer 2

x^2 -10x+25

Explanation:

(x-5)^2

(x-5)(x-5)

FOIL

first = x*x = x^2

outer:-5x

inner: -5x

last: -5*-5 = 25

Add them together

x^2 -5x-5x+25

Combine like terms

x^2 -10x+25

Standard form is ax^2 +bx +c so this is standard form
