Convert from vertex form to standard form... y= -(x-3)^2-8

-x² + 6x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

First, expand (x-3)² using FOIL

(x - 3)(x - 3)

= x² - 6x + 9

Distribute the negative sign to the expression:

-(x² - 6x + 9)

-x² + 6x - 9

Now, subtract 8 from this

-x² + 6x - 9

= -x² + 6x - 17

So, the equation in standard form is -x² + 6x - 17

y=x^2+6x+1

Step-by-step explanation: Math...

i dont know i just need points

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3
