what is y = (x-6)^2 - 2 in y = ax^2+bx+c form
y = (x - 6)² - 2y = (x - 6)(x - 6) - 2y = (x(x - 6) - 6(x - 6)) - 2y = (x(x) - x(6) - 6(x) + 6(6)) - 2y = (x² - 6x - 6x + 36) - 2y = (x² - 12x + 36) - 2y = x² - 12x + 36 - 2y = x² - 12x + 34
easy, just expandy=(x-6)^2-2y=(x-6)(x-6)-2y=x^2-6x-6x+36-2y=x^2-12x+34y=ax^2+bx+ca=1b=-12c=34
