How do you write #y = 3(x+1)^2 - 27# in standard form? Algebra Quadratic Equations and Functions Vertex Form of a Quadratic Equation 1 Answer Anthony X May 7, 2016 Really, you could just expand it out. #(x+1)^2 = (x+1)(x+1) = x^2 + 2x + 1# #y = 3(x^2 + 2x + 1) - 27# #y = 3x^2 + 6x + 3 - 27# #y = 3x^2 + 6x - 24# Answer link Related questions What is the Vertex Form of a Quadratic Equation?
