Rewrite f(x) = 3(x - 2)2 + 1 from vertex form to standard form.
Solution:
The given equation :
f(x) = 3(x - 2)2 + 1 is in vertex form
i.e., f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k, with (h, k) as vertex.
Here we have a vertex as (2, 1).
Standard form of the equation is:
f(x) = ax2 + bx + c.
f(x) = 3(x - 2)2 + 1
Using the algebraic identity
(a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab
f(x) = 3(x2 - 4x +4) + 1.
Using the distributive property
f(x) = 3[x2 - 4x + 4] + 1
f(x) = 3x2 - 12x + 12 + 1
f(x) = 3x2 - 12x + 13
Rewrite f(x) = 3(x - 2)2 + 1 from vertex form to standard form.
Summary:
Rewriting f(x) = 3(x - 2)2 + 1 from vertex form to standard form we get, f(x) = 3x2 - 12x + 13.
