Learn Vertex form introduction Graphing quadratics: vertex form Quadratic word problems (vertex form)

Given a quadratic function in vertex form, rewrite it in standard form. Created by Sal Khan.

1) Find the vertex point by converting the equation to vertex form, or by using the formulas to calculate the coordinates of the vertex: X = -B/ (2A) and Y = (4AC-B^2)/ (4A).

You have your x-coordinate of the vertex right over there and you have your y-coordinate of the vertex right over here. Now the reason why this is called vertex form is it's fairly straightforward to pick out …

There are three major forms of linear equations: point-slope form, standard form, and slope-intercept form. We review all three in this article.

Is it possible to convert straight from vertex to factored form, or does it need to go through standard form first?

All right, so you can imagine the form that I'm talking about is vertex form, where you can clearly spot the vertex. And the way we can do that is actually by completing the square.

The math is usually simpler. If the equation had been in standard form: y=Ax^2+Bx+C, then it is quite common to find the x-intercepts 1st (set y=0 and calculate X). Though, you can also get the vertex …

Here, six, eight and 20, they're all divisible by two, so some folks would argue that this is not standard form, and to get it into standard form, you would divide all of these by two, and if you did, you would …
