Writing transform. form of a quad. function in the general form?

**greatsheelephant** · May 11th 2010, 11:21 AM

Hi, I'm kinda stuck on this one... can anyone help me?

How would I write the transformational form of a quadratic function:

$(y+3)=(x+5)^2$

as the General Form

$y=ax^2+bx+c$ ?

it's what to do with (y+3) that has me confused..

Take 3 from both sides to get rid of that 3.

$y = (x+5)^2 - 3$

See spoiler for expanded form
