Converting Vertex Form to Standard
Form
Remember to FOIL
Vertex to Standard Form
1. Rewrite the
binomial squared as
a binomial times a
binomial.
2
5( 3) 7y x= - +
( )5( 3) 3 7y x x= - - +

2. Off to the side
F.O.I.L the two
binomials.
( )5( 3) 3 7y x x= - - +
( )

4. Replace the two
binomials with our
new trinomial
( )5( 3) 3 7y x x= - - +
You must use
Parenthesis!
2
5( 6 9) 7y x x= - + +
Vertex to Standard Form
5. Distribute the
monomial to the
trinomial.
6. Combine like terms.
2
5( 6 9) 7y x x= - + +
