Question

Using a minimum of two sentences, describe how to write the function, f(x) = (x + 2)2 - 3, in general form.

Answer 1

By distributing the 2 on (x+2), we will end up with 2x +4 -3. after that, we can just simplify the expression by adding and subtracting.

Answer 2

If you are saying f(x) = (x+2)^2 -3

1. Expand (x+2)^2 into general binomial form

2. Combine the constant term
