y=32x^2-8x-1y=32x28x1

Explanation:

"the equation of a parabola in "color(blue)"standard form"the equation of a parabola in standard form is.

•color(white)(x)y=ax^2+bx+c color(white)(x);a!=0xy=ax2+bx+cx;a0

"expand the factor "(8x-1)^2" using FOIL"expand the factor (8x1)2 using FOIL

y=1/2(64x^2-16x+1)-3/2y=12(64x216x+1)32

"distribute the bracket"distribute the bracket

y=32x^2-8x+1/2-3/2y=32x28x+1232

color(white)(y)=32x^2-8x-1larrcolor(red)"in standard form"y=32x28x1in standard form
