The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is x = (y - 2)2 + 36. 
What is the standard form of the equation? 
A.x = 2y2 - 4y + 40 
B.x = y2 + y + 12 
C.x = y2 - 4y + 40
D.x = y2 + 4y + 36

Ok to do this we need to multiply out the brackets:
x=y²-4y+40 therefore C is the answer.

Answer:

Option C is correct

\(x = y^2-4y+40\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard for of the quadratic equation is given as:

\(x= Ay^2+By+C\)

As per the statement:

The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is:

\(x = (y-2)^2+36\)

Using identity rule:

\((a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2\)

then;

\(x = y^2-4y+4+36\)

⇒\(x = y^2-4y+40\)

Therefore, the standard form of the equation is, \(x = y^2-4y+40\)
