Assume the expression is:
y = x² - 10x + 30
Complete the squares to get:
y = x² - 10x + 25 + 30 - 25
= (x - 5)² + 5
So the expression is in vertex form y = (x - h)² + k

The question does not contain an equation: only an expression. An expression cannot have a vertex form.
The difference between standard form and vertex form is the standard form gives the coefficients(a,b,c) of the different powers of x. The vertex form gives the vertex 9hk) of the parabola as part of the equation.
please help
Vertex form is denoted by: y=a(x-h)2+k Where (h,k) is the vertex. So, we have: y=a(x-2)2+3 (This super\subscript thing is annoying). Plug in the values for x and y for the point in the equation and you have your answer.
Y=3x^2 and this is in standard form. The vertex form of a prabola is y= a(x-h)2+k The vertex is at (0,0) so we have y=a(x)^2 it goes throug (2,12) so 12=a(2^2)=4a and a=3. Now the parabola is y=3x^2. Check this: It has vertex at (0,0) and the point (2,12) is on the parabola since 12=3x2^2
