     Standard from form this one is a bit more involved. You to complete the square to get these. Follow this example:  Re-write each fraction in vertex form. y = -x^2 + Bx - 12 y = 2x^2 - 4x + 1 y = -x^2 + 2x + 3 y = 3x^2 + 18x + 23 y = -2x^2 + 16 x - 29 y = x^2 + 8x + 19 
  
  Solution
23) Given y = -x2 + 8x - 12
Need to write in vertex form.
y = -x2 + 8x - 12
y + 12 = -x2 + 8x
Subtract 16 on bothsides.
y + 12 - 16 = -x2 + 8x - 16
y - 4 = -(x2 - 8x + 16)
y - 4 = -(x-4)2.
y = -(x-4)2 + 4
Therefore, vertex form of the given equation is y = -(x-4)2 + 4
