Q. Re-write the quadratic function below in Standard Form: y=−6(x−1)(x−5)
Expand Quadratic Function: Expand the quadratic function using the distributive property (FOIL method).y=−6(x−1)(x−5)First, multiply the terms in the first set of parentheses by each term in the second set of parentheses.y=−6[(x×x)+(x×−5)+(−1×x)+(−1×−5)]
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by combining like terms.y=−6[x2−5x−x+5]y=−6[x2−6x+5]
Distribute −6: Distribute the −6 across each term inside the brackets.y=−6×x2+6×6x−6×5
Complete Multiplication: Complete the multiplication.y=−6x2+36x−30
Write in Standard Form: Write the final expression in standard form.The standard form of a quadratic function is ax2+bx+c.Therefore, the standard form of the given quadratic function is y=−6x2+36x−30.
