The vertex form of a quadratic equation makes it easier for students to solve them!

Normally, you see quadratics written in standard form like this:

y = ax² + bx + c

But when you change it to vertex form, it looks like this:

y = a(x - h)² + k

This form helps us see important information right away.

Why Vertex Form is Helpful:

1. Finding the Vertex: The vertex (h, k) of the parabola is easy to spot. For example, in this equation:

   y = 2(x - 3)² + 4,

   the vertex is at (3, 4).

2. Easier to Graph: Using vertex form makes it simple to draw the parabola. You can just plot the vertex and figure out which way it opens.

3. Finding Maximum or Minimum: If a > 0, the parabola opens upwards, which means the vertex is the lowest point. But if a < 0, it opens downwards, and the vertex is the highest point.

Changing Between Forms:

To change from standard form to vertex form, we can complete the square. Let’s look at this example:

y = x² + 6x + 5

1. Group the x terms:

   y = (x² + 6x) + 5.

2. Complete the Square:

   We add and subtract (3)², which is 9, to rewrite it as:

   y = (x + 3)² - 4.

Now we have it in vertex form!

Remember, practicing these changes can help you solve quadratic equations more easily.
