Convert from Standard to Vertex Form

Front

What is the vertex form of a quadratic equation?

Back

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is given by y = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Front

How do you convert a quadratic equation from standard form to vertex form?

Back

To convert from standard form (y = ax² + bx + c) to vertex form, complete the square on the quadratic expression.

Front

What is the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation y = (x - 1)² - 6?

Back

The vertex is (1, -6).

Front

What does the 'a' value in the vertex form of a quadratic equation indicate?

Back

The 'a' value indicates the direction of the parabola (upward if a > 0, downward if a < 0) and the width of the parabola.
