y=2(x+3)2+1 in standard form is y=2x2+12x+19.

Explanation:

y=2(x+3)2+1 is a quadratic equation in vertex form. It can be converted into standard form by doing the following:

Remove the parentheses and exponent by simplifying (x+3)2, which is a sum of squares.

a2+b2=a2+2ab+b2, where a=x,andb=3.

(x+3)2=x2+2x3+32

Simplify.

(x2+6x+9)

Rewrite the equation, substituting (x2+6x+9) for (x+3)2.

y=2(x2+6x+9)+1

Distribute the 2.

y=2x2+6x2+92+1

Simplify.

y=2x2+12x+18+1

Simplify.

y=2x2+12x+19
