Answer :

Sure, let's rewrite the quadratic function [tex]\( y = -9(x - 4)(x + 1) \)[/tex] in Standard Form.

1. Start with the given quadratic function:
[tex]\[ y = -9(x - 4)(x + 1) \][/tex]

2. First, expand the expression [tex]\((x - 4)(x + 1)\)[/tex] using the distributive property:
[tex]\[ (x - 4)(x + 1) = x \cdot x + x \cdot 1 - 4 \cdot x - 4 \cdot 1 \][/tex]
Simplifying this, we have:
[tex]\[ (x - 4)(x + 1) = x^2 + x - 4x - 4 \][/tex]
Combining like terms, we get:
[tex]\[ x^2 + x - 4x - 4 = x^2 - 3x - 4 \][/tex]

3. Now multiply the expanded quadratic expression by -9:
[tex]\[ y = -9(x^2 - 3x - 4) \][/tex]
Distribute -9 to each term inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[ y = -9x^2 + 27x + 36 \][/tex]

So, the quadratic function [tex]\( y = -9(x - 4)(x + 1) \)[/tex] rewritten in Standard Form is:
[tex]\[ y = -9x^2 + 27x + 36 \][/tex]
