    Hi ExtraordinaryMelon4228,

    Thank you for your question!

    Before starting the resolution, we need to understand the different form of quadratic functions. The general form is this one:

    f(x)=ax2+bx+c

    In this problem, we want the standard form, which is this one:

    f(x)=a(xh)2+k

    To go from the general form to the standard form, we need to use this formula:

    We then have the values of h and k, we can now write the function in the standard form. You can also use the completing square technique, it's just a bit longer to do.

    I hope that helps and feel free to write us again!
