Express (x-6)² + 2x in Standard Function Form

Question

Find the standard representation of the following function

f(x)=(x6)2+2x f(x)=(x-6)^2+2x

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll transform the given expression into standard quadratic form by expanding and simplifying:

  • Step 1: Expand (x6)2 (x - 6)^2
    (x6)2=x212x+36 (x - 6)^2 = x^2 - 12x + 36
  • Step 2: Add 2x 2x
    f(x)=x212x+36+2x f(x) = x^2 - 12x + 36 + 2x
  • Step 3: Simplify
    Combine like terms: 12x+2x=10x-12x + 2x = -10x, resulting in the expression:
    f(x)=x210x+36 f(x) = x^2 - 10x + 36

Therefore, the standard form of the function f(x) f(x) is x210x+36 x^2 - 10x + 36 . This corresponds to choice 1 in the given list.

Thus, the final solution is f(x)=x210x+36 f(x) = x^2 - 10x + 36 .

Answer

f(x)=x210x+36 f(x)=x^2-10x+36
